BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this paper was to report our experience and comparison of surgical treatment methods for hepatic hydatid cyst disease. METHODOLOGY: Between January 1990 and December 1998, 66 patients with hepatic hydatid disease in two centers were operated on. Patients were assessed by clinical examination, laboratory methods and ultrasonography and computed tomography and magnetic resonance. We also compared omentoplasty or cappitonage with external drainage with or without cyctectomy. RESULTS: Common pathology was solitary cysts and most of them were placed in the right lobe. Omentoplasty was performed for 35 cysts and cappitonnage for 36 and external drainage for 31 cysts. No operative mortality was reported. Patients with omentoplasty developed fewer complications and had a significantly shorter hospitalization than those with external drainage. CONCLUSIONS: Although omentoplasty seems to be the best possible surgical alternative for the radical treatment of hepatic hydatid cysts, the management of hydatid cysts should be flexible, taking into consideration a number of factors and variables. |
