[A new method for the surgical treatment of hepatic echinococcosis]

A procedure for operative management of liver echinococcosis (hydatid disease) is implemented in practice, consisting in resection of the "protruding dome", resection of the altered and thinned surrounding liver tissue, and omentoplasty using tissue adhesive. The method proposed has definite advantages, namely: readily performed with minimal traumatism, the likelihood of a nonparasitic cyst formation is ruled out, shortened postoperative period and quicker recovery of the patients with resuming of the previous jobs. The indications and contraindications for performing the operation, and possible postoperative complications are discussed.
