    Area of Science:

    • Medical Parasitology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a significant public health concern in endemic regions.
    • Libya reports a notable incidence of hydatid disease, particularly in pediatric populations.
    • Al-Jalah General Hospital observed hydatid disease in 0.85% of admissions between 1971-1976.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical experience of managing hydatid disease in 56 children.
    • To analyze the presenting features, complications, and surgical outcomes in pediatric hydatidosis.
    • To contribute to the understanding of hydatid disease management in children in Libya.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 56 pediatric cases of hydatid disease treated surgically.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical presentations, and diagnostic methods.
    • Evaluation of surgical techniques employed, including intraoperative findings and postoperative management.

    Main Results:

    • Hydatid disease represented 11.7% of admissions for children under ten years old.
    • The study details the specific complications encountered in the pediatric cohort.
    • Surgical interventions and their associated success rates are reported for the 56 children.

    Conclusions:

    • Hydatid disease poses a considerable challenge in pediatric care in Libya.
    • Effective surgical management is crucial for favorable outcomes in children with hydatid disease.
    • Further research on prevention and long-term follow-up is warranted for pediatric hydatidosis.
