Sophia Brown, a 62-year-old retired librarian,...
Sophia Brown, a 62-year-old retired librarian, had been managing mild hypertension for years. Over the past 18 months, she developed a persistent, dull ache in her left flank that worsened when she gardened, her favorite hobby. A routine ultrasound revealed a large, 8cm simple renal cyst on her left kidney. Her primary care doctor referred her to a urologist, who explained that while the cyst was benign, its size and location were likely causing her discomfort and could potentially affect kidney function. He recommended a laparoscopic renal cyst deroofing, describing it as a minimally invasive procedure to drain and remove the cyst wall. Sophia was anxious about any surgery but trusted her doctor. The procedure went smoothly; she stayed one night in the hospital and managed post-op pain with oral medication. Within three weeks, her flank pain was completely gone, and she was back to tending her roses without discomfort. Emotionally, she moved from fear and frustration over her limited activity to profound relief and gratitude, feeling like she had regained a piece of her independence.
