I may need to have a large kidney cyst removed. I have a terrible history of UTIs and my three doctors have stated I should never again have a transurethral foley catheter as I am now allergic to all antibiotics except one used for treatment of infections. Is it possible to use a suprapubic catheter for my surgery/early recuperation?
Hi, Kidney or Renal cysts are round fluid-filled pouches that form in kidneys which sometimes may be associated with serious disorders that may prejudice the normal functioning of the kidneys.  But given that your USG report mentions it to be a simple cortical cyst, you don't have to Chat Doctor.  You are at peril of acquiring them as you get older, and I would want you to be wary of symptoms like fever or severe pain on your lower back or sides as the cyst might get infected because of urine
