What are the advantages and disadvantages of cyst decompression?

The advantage of cyst decompression includes:

1. Lifting the pressure on the kidney essence from cysts.

2. Improving the blood supply to the surrounding renal tissue.

3. 

Relieve clinical symptoms.

4. Prolong the life.

The disadvantages includes:

1. The operation should have very strict indication, that is to say, kidney function is normal.( Glomerular filtration rate > 80ml/min, serum creatinine < 133umlo/L or renal insufficiency compensation period (glomerular filtration rate is 50-80ml/min, serum creatinine 133-177umol/L). That is to say, that must be the first and the second period of polycystic kidney (the patients with back pain, obvious hematuria or recurrent urinary tract infection, or accompanied by hypertension). Renal volume get enlarged, renal pelvis pressure significantly elongated, deformity; maximum cyst diameter is more than 4-5cm; at the same time, renal tumors is suspected to exist; kidneys are palpably enlarged and its surface is rough; the patients with stones.

2. Surgical complications: Such as renal vascular injury, urinary collection system injury, infection, hematuria, urinary fistula pleural peritoneal injury, risk of infection spread to the other side of the kidneys.

3. The high technical requirements is needed for surgery, because the surgery with a little careless can result in damage to the kidney function, and the level of the surgeon directly affects the number of the cyst and the prognosis.

4. Cyst decompression can not inhibit the cyst gene, after surgery, the cyst will also produce and the number can increase.

5. Greater pain.
