Objective:
To summarize our experience with laparoscopic treatment of hepatic hydatid cysts.
Methods:
A total of 120 patients with hepatic hydatid cysts who received laparoscopic treatment were retrospectively analyzed.
Results:
The procedure was successful in all cases with no intraoperative rupture of the cysts or occurrence of anaphylactic shock. Among these patients, biliary fistula occurred in 8 cases, residual cavity effusion in 8, recurrence at other sites in 4, and postoperative bleeding in 1 case, but all cases were cured without mortality.
Conclusion:
Laparoscopic treatment is safe and effective for hepatic hydatid cysts.
