Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Liver surgery navigation is primarily used for malignant diseases in specialized centers.
  • Navigated surgery offers potential benefits for benign liver diseases like hydatidosis, particularly when cysts communicate with the biliary tree.
  • Navigation systems provide real-time spatial awareness of cyst relationships to critical vascular and biliary structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the utility of navigated liver surgery for a complex case of hepatic hydatid cyst communicating with the biliary tree.
  • To highlight the role of navigation in managing benign liver pathologies with intricate anatomical relationships.

Main Methods:

  • A case report of a 20-year-old male with a hepatic hydatid cyst and recurrent cholangitis.
  • Diagnosis confirmed via endoscopic retrograde cholangiography and magnetic resonance imaging.
  • Liver cystectomy performed using a navigation system with instrument tracking and 3D CT reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • The navigated system facilitated precise identification and selective suturing of the bile duct communicating with the hydatid cyst.
  • The liver cystectomy was successfully and easily completed.
  • The procedure allowed for accurate management of the cyst's communication with the biliary tree.

Conclusions:

  • Navigated surgical systems can effectively guide surgeons in managing severe and complicated hepatic hydatid cysts.
  • This technology enhances safety and precision in liver surgery for complex benign pathologies.
  • Navigated surgery shows promise for improving outcomes in challenging hepatobiliary cases.
