Surgical treatment of hepatic hydatid cyst: cysto-jejunostomy by stapling

The appropriate choice of surgical treatment of hepatic hydatidosis depends on the communication between the cyst and the bile ducts. The forms of cavity management and biliary drainage procedures proposed for the case of cysts with bile duct communication vary greatly while the ideal operation is still controversial. Herein, we report partial cystectomy plus cystojejunostomy (with stapler) in a case with hepatic hydatid disease (Fig. 2, Ref. 7).
