Q: good evening doctors. is a bosniak iii kidney cyst treated with surgery or by observation? what type of surgery is required? is the entire kidney removed?

: Good evening. Can be treated both ways depending on any symptoms or changes from previous findings. Surgery can be removal of just the cyst cyst or kidney- also dependent on size, location. Pl ask your Urologist and she/ he will explain.
