How Image-Guided Percutaneous Aspiration + Sclerotherapy is performed
This treatment can be performed under ultrasound or CT guidance, usually with local anesthesia, and sedation if necessary. Typically, a percutaneous puncture is made into the cyst, the cystic fluid is aspirated and sampled for testing, and then an optional sclerosing agent is injected to promote fibrosis of the cyst wall; a drainage tube may be temporarily left in place for observation if applicable. Postoperative monitoring includes vital signs, urine color, and puncture site bleeding. The goal is to reduce the size of the cyst and relieve compression discomfort. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
