Retroperitoneoscopic Renal Cyst Excision Treatment in India

Arjun Garcia, a 48-year-old construction foreman and father of three, had always been active. For over a year, he'd been plagued by a persistent, dull ache in his right flank that worsened after long days on site. Initially, he dismissed it as muscle strain, but when he started experiencing occasional sharp, stabbing pains and noticed his energy levels plummeting, his wife insisted he see a doctor. A CT scan revealed a large, 8cm simple renal cyst on his lower right kidney, compressing the renal pelvis. His urologist, Dr. Evans, explained that while the cyst was benign, its size and position were causing his pain and potentially affecting kidney function. She recommended a retroperitoneoscopic excision to drain and remove the cyst wall, emphasizing the minimally invasive approach would spare his abdominal muscles, crucial for his job. Arjun was anxious about surgery but trusted Dr. Evans's calm explanation. The procedure went smoothly. Post-op, he had some expected soreness and bloating from the gas used, but the flank pain was immediately gone. Within two weeks, he was back to light duties, and after six weeks, he was fully cleared. The emotional relief was profound. The constant, nagging pain had made him irritable and withdrawn. After recovery, he felt like himself again, energetic, present for his family, and grateful for a solution that allowed him to return to the work he loved without a large, debilitating incision.
