Generally speaking, there is no need to remove the simple kidney cysts for they do not grow up and cause no symptoms. But you should keep close attention to them in case that they enlarge. Occasionally, a renal cyst will continue to accumulate fluid over time, causing back pain.

Simple kidney cysts that are causing symptoms or blocking the flow of blood or urine through the kidney may need to be treated. When a kidney cyst is bigger than 3 cm, it begins to cause symptoms.

The most common used surgeries to remove kidneys are needle aspiration and laparoscopic renal cyst ablation.

Needle aspiration is to insert a long need through the skin. Under the guide of ultrasound, the cyst is drained and then filled with alcohol to make the kidney tissue harder. While laparoscopic renal cyst ablation is performed using a laparoscope. The surgeon drains the cyst and then removes away its outer tissue.
