Recovery time after kidney cyst surgery can vary depending on several factors, including the size and location of the cyst, the surgical technique used, and individual patient characteristics. In general, most patients can expect a relatively short recovery period.

For minimally invasive procedures (such as laparoscopic or robotic surgery), recovery typically takes around 1 to 2 weeks. During this time, it is important to follow your doctor's post-operative instructions regarding rest, pain management, wound care, and activity restrictions.

However, for more complex or open surgeries, the recovery period may be longer. It can range from a few weeks to several months. Your doctor will provide you with specific guidance based on your particular case.

Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized information about your surgery and recovery timeframe.
3-6 months.
