Abstract

This systematic review evaluates the clinical scenarios, management strategies, and outcomes of calyceal diverticula misdiagnosed as simple renal cysts during unroofing surgery. By synthesizing current evidence, this project proposes a novel, four-phase "pitfall-driven" clinical algorithm to guide urologists in proactive intraoperative identification and postoperative disaster management.
