-Student t-test used for parametric continuous variables (Age),-Mann-Whitney test for non-parametric variable (Cyst Size), and Fisher Exact or chi-squared test for categorical variableswhere appropriate.
-Cyst size: L x W (mm), calculated by multiplying the two greatest biaxial dimensions in millimeters.
a In three FSC rupture attempts same MR was used and were excluded.
