Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

Renal cyst can be treated using a needle puncture or laparoscopy. Needle puncture is less invasive but has a high chance of recurrence, laparoscopy has more serious complications but a higher success rate and lower to almost 0 recurrence rate. it will all depend on the location of your cyst and how it looks like.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
