Abstract
Background: The laparoscopic approach for the treatment of hepatic hydatid cysts is increasingly gaining importance. The aim of this study was to report a series of 27 patients with hepatic hydatid cyst managed with laparoscopic partial cystectomy. Methods: A retrospective review of patients treated at a university clinic for hepatic hydatid cysts from March 2010 to May 2014 was performed. Operative time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, post-operative complications, and early follow-up outcomes were evaluated. Results: Laparoscopic surgical intervention was performed on 27 patients (17 females and 10 males) who were diagnosed with hydatid cysts by ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT). Except 3 of the cysts, were located in the right lobe of the liver. No mortality was noted during the study. Two surgical site infections were observed and no abscesses developed in the cystic cavity. Recurrence was not noted during the mean follow-up period of 22 months. Conclusion: Laparoscopic partial cystectomy is a safe and effective method for the treatment of hepatic hydatid cyst.
