[Modern possibilities of complex miniinvasive treatment of echinococcal hepatic cysts]

Ultrasonic features were studied and criterions of differential diagnosis were elaborated for parasitic one-chamber cysts (types I-II according to Gharbi classification) and for true cysts in 35 patients with hydatid hepatic disease. Transcutaneous interventions under ultrasonic guidance with preliminary application of therapy course using vormil was applied as the method of radical treatment. Pathomorphosis of residual cavities in terms of observation from 1 to 10 years was studied. There was proved the efficacy of combined application of miniinvasive method of radical treatment of patients, which may serve as an alternative to surgical intervention and has some advantages over it.
