Plain-English summary
Two dogs with kidney cysts underwent surgery to remove the cysts and promote healing. The procedure involved fenestration (creating an opening) and omentalization (using a piece of fatty tissue to help the healing process). After the surgery, both dogs showed improvement, with one dog completely free of cysts after follow-up imaging. Both dogs remained healthy and showed no signs of kidney problems for up to two years after their surgeries.

Abstract
Two cases of surgical fenestration combined with omentalization for canine renal cysts using laparotomy and laparoscopy are described. After surgery, the cystic lesions gradually diminished in size, and a complete regression was confirmed in Case 2 by ultrasonography. The dogs maintained good condition without clinical signs of renal compromise for 14 months (Case 1) and 24 months (Case 2). Omentalization is a simple and effective procedure for canine renal cysts that conserves the remaining parenchyma and can be performed by a laparoscopic approach.
