Resumen
Introduction: In this work, we present two cases of heminephrectomies with postoperative findings of cystic lesions in the bed of the excised renal segment.
Material and Methods: Description of the clinical cases, therapeutic management and description of the ultrasound findings. A review of the published cases was carried out.
Results: We present a case of open heminephrectomy due to atrophy of the upper hemirrenal in a case of ureterocele, and another case with bilateral lower heminephrectomy in a case of vesicoureteral reflux disease. In the first case, the cystic lesion disappeared during follow-up, while in the second, the cysts remained stable. In none of the cases published in the literature was it necessary to perform any intervention to resolve the cysts.
Conclusions: The appearance of cystic lesions in the heminephrectomy bed in pediatric patients is a radiological finding that occurs frequently. Due to its favorable evolution, without the need for additional procedures for its resolution, we do not consider the presence of these lesions as a complication after heminephrectomy.
