Summary

Surgery remains a key treatment for pediatric liver hydatid disease (HDL). Omentoplasty and capitonnage are most effective for managing the cyst cavity, with lower complication rates than other methods.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Hepatology
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Hydatid disease of the liver (HDL) is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus tapeworms.
  • Pediatric involvement requires specific surgical considerations due to anatomical differences and potential for growth disturbances.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare the outcomes of various surgical treatment modalities for pediatric liver hydatid disease.
  • To identify the most effective surgical techniques for managing the cyst cavity in children.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 31 pediatric patients treated surgically for HDL between 1990 and 2000.
  • Surgical procedures included unroofing plus tube drainage (UTD), capitonnage, omentoplasty, and pericystectomy.
  • Analysis of complications such as cholangitis and biliary fistula associated with each modality.

Main Results:

  • The most frequent symptoms were abdominal mass and right-upper-quadrant pain.
  • Cysts were predominantly located in the right lobe of the liver; 8 patients had multiple hepatic cysts, and 5 had cysts in other organs.
  • Unroofing plus tube drainage (UTD) resulted in 2 cases of cholangitis and 1 biliary fistula. Capitonnage led to 1 case of cholangitis.

Conclusions:

  • Surgery remains a primary treatment modality for pediatric liver hydatid disease.
  • Omentoplasty and capitonnage demonstrated the highest efficacy in managing the cyst cavity, suggesting they are preferred techniques.
