Renal cyst puncture and abscess formation
Urology.

Abstract
Percutaneous needle puncture and aspiration of suspected cystic renal masses may provide accurate diagnosis in selected cases. However, renal cyst puncture is not a totally innocuous procedure and certain complications may be encountered. Report is made of 2 cases of renal cyst puncture followed by abscess formation, necessitating surgical intervention. An improved technique involving surgical preparation of the operative area and utilization of double-needle method of cyst puncture is advocated.
