A Novel Technique for the Management of Persistent Biliary Fistulas Developing After Liver Hydatid Cyst Surgeries: Drain Clamping Technique. Dig Dis Sci 2024; 69:961-968. [PMID: 38340259 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-024-08284-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND External biliary fistula, where the residual cyst is associated with the biliary tree, is one of the most common complications after liver hydatid cyst surgery. Surgical procedures become a consideration for patients in whom the biliary fistula persists despite all endoscopic procedures. However, reoperation for biliary fistula after hydatid cyst surgery leads to additional complications and increases morbidity and mortality. AIM This study aims to treat persistent biliary fistulas that develop after liver hydatid cyst surgery using a simple noninvasive technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS External drainage surgery was performed on 295 patients with liver hydatid cysts. Endoscopic treatment methods were used in patients who developed biliary fistula after surgery. Despite all endoscopic treatment methods, 14 patients developed persistent biliary fistulas. These patients were subsequently treated using the drain clamping technique. FINDINGS All persistent fistulas occluded in 11.86 days (with a range of 8-20 days). No complications were observed in the one-year follow-up visits. CONCLUSION Drain clamping, a novel approach to the treatment of persistent biliary fistulas developed despite all available endoscopic methods, can be safely used. This technique resulted in a complete recovery in patients without the need for surgical procedures.

J Minim Access Surg 2023; 19:498-503. [PMID: 37282433 PMCID: PMC10695320 DOI: 10.4103/jmas.jmas_219_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE) rupture into the biliary tract, one of the most common and refractory complications, is treated by laparotomy to remove hydatid lesions. The aim of this article was to investigate the role of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the treatment of this particular disease. Patients and Methods This was is a retrospective analysis of 40 patients with HCE ruptured into the biliary tract in our hospital from September 2014 to October 2019. They were divided into two groups, ERCP group (group A, n = 14) and conventional surgery group (group B, n = 26). Group A was treated with ERCP first to control infection and improve the general condition before undergoing laparotomy at an optional stage while group B was treated with laparotomy directly. First, the infection parameters and liver, kidney and coagulation functions of group A patients before and after ERCP were compared to evaluate treatment effectiveness. Second, the intraoperative and post-operative parameters during the laparotomy of group A were compared with group B to evaluate the impact of ERCP treatment on laparotomy. Results and Conclusions White blood cell, NE%, platelet, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, Total bilirubin (TBIL), alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase (ALT), ALT and Cr in group A significantly improved by ERCP (P < 0.05); during laparotomy, the bleeding amount and hospital stay in group A were better (P < 0.05); moreover, concerning the post-operative complications, the incidence of acute renal failure and coagulation dysfunction in group A was significantly less (P < 0.05). ERCP, which not only quickly and effectively controls infection and improves the patient's systemic condition but also provides good support for subsequent radical surgery, enjoys good prospects for clinical application.

[PMID: 37120402 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2023.03.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous treatment in cystic echinococcosis (CE) type 1 and 3a giant cysts (with at least one diameter>10 cm) according to the World Health Organization classification and to evaluate the management of complications, especially cystobiliary fistulas (CBFs). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 66 patients with 68 CE1 and CE3a giant cysts treated with percutaneous catheterization between January 2016 and December 2021. The characteristics of the cysts, major and minor complications, time to catheter removal, and length of hospital stay were recorded. RESULTS Among the 68 cysts, CBFs occurred in 35 (51.5%), cavity infections in 11 (16.1%), recollection in five (7.4%), and anaphylaxis in three (4.5%). There was no mortality. Biliary drainage was observed intraoperatively in 20 (29.4%) and only postoperatively in 15 (22.1%) of the 35 cysts with CBFs. A plastic biliary stent was placed in 18 (51.5%) of the 35 cysts with CBFs. The patients with CBFs had a longer hospital stay and time to catheter removal than those without fistulas (15.3 ± 10.9 vs. 6.1 ± 2.6 days and 32.7 ± 51.8 vs. 6.2 ± 3.1 days, respectively; P < 0.001). Of the patients who developed recollection, three were treated with secondary catheterization, and two underwent surgery. In total, three patients underwent surgery. The rate of clinical success was 95.4%. All cysts were followed up for an average of 19.1 (range, 12-60) months, and there was an average 88.8% reduction in cyst volume compared to the initial evaluation. CONCLUSION CE1 and CE3a giant cysts can be treated effectively and safely with high clinical success using the catheterization technique. Contrary to what has previously been reported for these patients, the rate of CBFs is high, but these patients can successfully be treated with percutaneous drainage and/or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography without the requirement of surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The rate of deep organ space/surgical site infection after conservative surgery for hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE) ranges from 12% to 26% with a post-operative mortality rate between 0% and 7.5%. This systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to investigate whether omentoplasty (OP) following conservative surgery for HCE leads to decreased rates of morbidity and mortality compared to external tube drainage ETD. PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified 4540 articles through database searching. After verifying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we retained eight studies for final analysis: two randomized controlled trials (RCT), one prospective comparative study and five retrospective comparative studies. The main outcome measure was organ space/surgical site (OS/SS) morbidity that was limited to "deep organ space/surgical site infection (Deep OS/SSI) with or without re-operation". RESULTS The eight studies reported results for deep OS/SSI (6/374 (OP) and 60/403 (ETD), respectively). There were statistically significantly less deep OS/SSI with OP (vs. ETD) OR=0.17 95%CI [0.05, 0.62] (P=0.007). A random-effect meta-regression, including the eight studies, showed an interaction in favor of OP. There were also statistically significant less biliary leakage±fistula and overall morbidity in OP compared to ETD. On the other hand, no statistically significant difference was found concerning deep bleeding, mortality and recurrence between these two groups. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis with a meta-regression showed that there were statistically significant less deep OS/SSI, biliary leakage±fistula and overall morbidity in OP compared to ETD.

Abstract
Background The outcome and complications of liver hydatid cyst surgeries with new and old techniques are not well determined. We intended to present the results of operations done for patients with hepatic hydatid cyst in an endemic area. Methods Data of 112 patients referred and operated for liver hydatid cyst, in Imam Khomeini Hospital complex, Tehran, Iran, from 2015 to 2018, were collected including demographic characteristics, operation parameters and complication related statistics. The variables were presented for different surgical methods including operations with and without omentoplasty. Results Patients aged 39. 3 ± 13. 9 yr (70 females; 63. 5%). Most frequent clinical complaint was vague abdominal pain (n=45; 40. 2%). The most prevalent comorbidity was hypertension (18; 16.0%). Conservative methods were chosen more frequently including omentoplasty (44; 39. 3%), cyst drainage (27; 24. 1%), cyst resection (19; 17%) and marsupialization (3; 2. 7%). Overall, 56 patients (50%) were operated with omentoplasty as the single method or in combination with segmentectomy. Complications occurred less in patients operated with omentoplasty (41. 1 vs. 23. 2%; P=0. 043); particularly, biloma was more frequent in surgeries without omentoplasty (7. 1 vs 0. 0%; P=0. 042). Persistence and recurrence rates were 12. 5% and 3. 6% with relative predilection in, respectively, segmentectomy and lobectomy surgical methods compared to Omentoplasty. No mortality was recorded. Conclusions In our case series of hepatic hydatid cyst patients, omentoplasty was safe with less complication and similar long-term recurrence rate.

Abstract
Introduction Hydatid disease is an immense health problem in developing countries. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst is often difficult because of its protean manifestations. Our objective was to evaluate the various clinical and laboratory presentations of hydatid disease and various modalities of treatment from a tertiary care center. Materials and methods We reviewed the clinical and laboratory features of patients presenting with hydatid cyst through retrospective analysis from January 2018 to December 2019 from a tertiary care hospital in northeast India. Results Of the 26 adult patients with hydatid cysts who were part of the study, 14 (53.8%) were males and 12 (46.2%) were females. The mean age was 34.6 years. The most common site of involvement was the liver (69%) followed by lung (19.2%) and brain (7.7%). Palpable mass in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen was the most common symptom (88.3%) for liver hydatid cyst followed by pain abdomen (66.6%). Systemic symptoms like fever and weakness were present in most of the patients. The majority of patients (80%) were from rural areas. Conclusion Hydatid cysts present with varied symptomatology. History of exposure to infected animals may not be present. A high degree of clinical suspicion combined with meticulous history and clinical examination supported by laboratory investigations are required for its diagnosis.

Abstract
Background Gallbladder hydatid cyst (GBHC) is highly uncommon with an incidence of 0.3–0.4% of all atypically located hydatid cysts. Our personal experience of one case of primary GBHC (PGBHC) managed laparoscopically motivated this systematic review. This study aimed to analyze the demographic characteristics, types [whether primary GBHC (PGBHC) or secondary GBHC (SGBHC)], clinical presentation, laboratory investigations, imaging studies, operative procedure, hospital stay, follow-up and recurrence. Methods A systematic review was performed using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. Results Twenty studies, including 22 cases plus one more case managed by us, were included in the review. For PGBHC, the mean age was 48.61 years while for SGBHC it was 47.9 years. PGBHC was more common in females (69.23%) while SGBHC was more common in males (55.55%). Overall, GBHC was more common in females (56.52%). The most common presentation overall was abdominal pain (100%) followed by nausea/vomiting (43.47%). The other common symptoms were nausea/vomiting (61.53%) and Murphy’s sign (38.46%) in PGBHC, but jaundice (50%) and fever (30%) in SGBHC. In PGBHC, 50% patients had normal liver function while this was deranged in 66.66% patients with SGBHC. Serology was positive in 50% of PGBHC and 100% in SGBHC. Ultrasonography was positive in 50%, while CT-scan showed 70%. CT-scan was better at detection of SGBHC (100%). The most common operation was open cholecystectomy (78.26%) either isolated or combined. Isolated open cholecystectomy was commonly done in PGBHC (69.23%). Overall, only 56.52% of patients received albendazole, but no recurrence was reported. The average hospital stay was 7.25 days and follow-up ranged from 1 month to 10 years. Conclusion GBHC mostly affects females with abdominal pain being the most common symptom. Ultrasonography is expedient though CT-scan is more sensitive. Albendazole monotherapy has questionable value. Open cholecystectomy is the most common operation. However, laparoscopy is safe in experienced hands. ![]()

Abstract
Primary hydatid cysts of the ovaries represent a very rare entity that may be diagnosed incidentally. Ultrasound is the gold standard diagnostic method for ovarian hydatid cysts. Medical treatment may be successful in small asymptomatic cysts, however surgical management with removal of the intact cyst is the preferred method for large cysts.
Introduction Hydatid cysts of the female reproductive system represent a rare entity. We report a case of a primary hydatid cyst of the right ovary of a postmenopausal woman that was diagnosed incidentally. Presentation of the case A 72-year old overweight woman with history of three vaginal deliveries was referred due to uterine prolapse. During clinical examination of the patient, preoperative pelvic ultrasound revealed an ovarian cyst with benign characteristics. After oncology review, a laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was conducted; the histopathology of the cyst revealed a hydatid cyst. Postoperative abdominal computed tomography identified no other sites of infection, indicating the ovary as the primary site of infection. During follow-up no recurrence occurred. Discussion Hydatid cysts usually have a low progression and tend to be asymptomatic. Medical treatment may be successful in small asymptomatic cysts, however a close follow-up is needed after antihelminthic treatment. Surgical management with removal of the intact cyst is the preferred method for large cysts. Conclusion We report a rare case of ovarian hydatid cyst that was effectively removed intact during a laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy with no recurrence during follow-up.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosis. Portal hypertension is an unusual postoperative complication after a liver hydatid cyst surgery.
CASE PRESENTATION: To illustrate this rare condition, we present the case of a 32-year-old patient operated for a liver hydatid cyst with late-onset postoperative complications. The patient suffered from secondary digestive bleeding because of portal hypertension and was therefore treated with a distal splenorenal shunt (Warren).
CONCLUSION: Surgery of hydatid cyst may cause severe complications like portal hypertension and in certain cases, distal splenorenal anastomosis might represent an important treatment option that needs to be performed in specialised centres.
Keywords: Liver cyst, Portal hypertension, Splenorenal shunt.

Abstract
The article presents literature review about surgical treatment of liver hydatidosis. Particular attention is paid to the development of percutaneous treatment. Also modern trend of surgical treatment are described. We presented results of percutaneous treatment of liver hydatidosis in our clinic. We analized them and made the conclusion that percutaneous treatment is effective and safe method for liver hydatidosis. To reduce the risk of recurrence we have to do it right and all patients must take anti-relapse chemotherapy.

Abstract
Background Single-stage surgery for multiple-site hydatid cysts especially for the lung and liver is a less performed approach. Objective The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility of this approach in terms of outcome. Methods We studied 42 patients with multiple-site hydatid cysts over a period of 36 months admitted or referred to the department of CTVS of a tertiary-level hospital of Eastern India. Results Maximum numbers of cases were found in the age group of 11-20 years comprising 35.71% of the patient population with a female preponderance (18 versus 24). Chest pain was the commonest presenting feature (66.66%) followed by cough (52.38%), haemoptysis and dyspnoea 33.33% respectively. Eosinophilia was observed in four patients (9.52%). Twenty-two patients had simultaneous occurrence of pulmonary and hepatic hydatid disease (52.38%). Fourteen patients had only pulmonary involvement (33.33%). Chest wall (including the parietal pleura) was involved in six patients (14.28%). 23.03% patients presented with complicated cysts in the form of rupture into the pleura (19.35%) or the peritoneum (9.68%). Eighteen patients (42.86%) were operated via posterolateral thoracotomy and 18 (42.86%) were operated via thoracotomy with phrenotomy. Twenty-four patients (57.14%) underwent cyst excision by Barrett's technique. 59.09% patients underwent cystostomy for hepatic hydatids and five underwent omental packing (22.72%). Prolonged air leak was the commonest complication (35.71%). The mean operative time for thoracotomy was 136.87 min (~ 140 min) and 145 min for thoracotomy with phrenotomy. Only five patients (11.9%) required a prolonged intensive -treatment unit (ITU) stay of > 2 days and four had prolonged hospital stay > 15 days (1 of bronchopleural fistula, 1 of anaphylactic shock and 1 of bilateral lung cyst excision with postoperative lobar collapse). Conclusion Single-stage surgery is a viable option for multiple- and multi-site hydatids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bile leak is the main cause of morbidity and mortality after surgery for hydatid liver cysts. Aim was to assess the role of prophylactic endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) in reducing postoperative bile leak in patients undergoing partial cystectomy. METHODS Fifty-four patients with hepatic hydatid cyst met inclusion criteria, 27 were excluded or declined to participate. Twenty-six women and 28 men (mean age 44.6 ± 10.1, range: 22-61 years) were randomly assigned to either group I with ES (n = 27) or group II without ES (n = 27). RESULTS Demographics and clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics of cysts were not statistically different between two groups. Group I had a significant decrease in bile leak rate compared with group II (11.1% versus 40.7%, P = .013), with significantly shorter duration of hospital stay (P < .0001). Biliary fistula in group I had significantly lower daily output (100 mL/day versus 350 mL/day) with gradual reduction till stoppage of leak in 3-4 days without intervention. Biliary fistula in group II had a significantly higher need for biliary intervention through postoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with ES compared with biliary fistula in group I (FEP = .002), with significantly longer mean time of fistula closure (P = .011) and longer time to drain removal (P < .0001). Nonbiliary complications were comparable between two groups. CONCLUSION Prophylactic ES provides significant reduction in postoperative bile leak rate with shorter hospital stay after partial cystectomy of hydatid cyst. Biliary fistula in patients with ES has significantly lower daily output with shorter time of drain removal and shorter time to closure than patients without ES.

Abstract
Hydatidosis is a public health problem in endemic countries. Hydatid cysts are located usually in the liver and the lungs. Primary pancreatic hydatid cyst is in unusual location and rarely causes acute pancreatitis. In this paper, we report a case of a 34-year-old man who admitted with recurrent acute pancreatitis. Following the preoperation investigations, the primary impression was a pancreatic pseudocyst. During surgery, a primary hydatid cyst was detected in the pancreas measuring 35 × 20 × 15 cm. The treatment consisted of evacuation and external draining of the cyst. In addition, we summarized 14 cases of primary hydatid cyst of the pancreas associated with acute pancreatitis reported in the literature.

Abstract
Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) and Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) infections are the most common parasitic diseases that affect the liver. The disease course is typically slow and the patients tend to remain asymptomatic for many years. Often the diagnosis is incidental. Right upper quadrant abdominal pain, hepatitis, cholangitis, and anaphylaxis due to dissemination of the cyst are the main presenting symptoms. Ultrasonography is important in diagnosis. The World Health Organization classification, based on ultrasonographic findings, is used for staging of the disease and treatment selection. In addition to the imaging methods, immunological investigations are used to support the diagnosis. The available treatment options for E. granulosus infection include open surgery, percutaneous interventions, and pharmacotherapy. Aggressive surgery is the first-choice treatment for E. multilocularis infection, while pharmacotherapy is used as an adjunct to surgery. Due to a paucity of clinical studies, empirical evidence on the treatment of E. granulosus and E. multilocularis infections is largely lacking; there are no prominent and widely accepted clinical algorithms yet. In this article, we review the diagnosis and treatment of E. granulosus and E. multilocularis infections in the light of recent evidence.

Abstract
Background. Surgical treatment of hydatid liver disease (HLD) is divided into conservative and radical procedures. While conservative techniques are easier and faster to perform, there is an emerging need to reduce their morbidity and recurrence rates. Our aim was to present and evaluate the efficiency and safety of the application of radiofrequency energy (TissueLink® and Aquamantys® systems) in hepatic bed during partial cystectomy. Materials and Methods. Eighteen consecutive patients with hydatid liver cysts were referred to our department between April 2006 and June 2014. Data about demographics, mortality, morbidity, and recurrence rate were obtained and analyzed retrospectively. Results. The mean follow-up was 38 months (range: 4–84 months). The postoperative course of most patients was uneventful. One case of recurrence was found in our series in a patient with 4 cysts in the right lobe, 3 years after initial treatment. He was reoperated on with the same method. Conclusions. Saline-linked RF energy seems to be an effective means to be employed in conservative surgical procedures of HLD, with satisfactory postoperative morbidity. Recurrence rates appear to be low, but further follow-up is needed in order to draw safer conclusions.

Abstract
A total of 302 patients with liver echinococcosis (LE) complicated by lesions of bile duct during 1988 to 2015 were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups. In the first group, 227 patients were included with lesions of segmental bile ducts in the form of cystobiliary and bilio-bronchial fistulas. In the second group, 75 patients with lesions of hepatic bile were enrolled. Diagnosis of LE and its complications was made by ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT). Surgical treatment included echinococcectomy with complete liquidation of a residual cavity (35.1%), echinococcectomy with suturing (46.0%), external drainage of a residual cavity (7.3%), pericystectomy (8.6%), and resection of a liver (3.0%). Postoperative complications related to operative intervention developed in 29 patients. Lethal outcomes took place in 6 cases (2.0%). The analysis has shown that the form of bile duct lesions, methods of surgical operation for liquidation of hydatid cysts, and its biliary complications had influenced the treatment outcome. More optimal results are received after complete liquidation of residual cavity in different ways and suturing of cystobiliary fistulas during operation. For prevention of complications related to the presence of residual cavity, laser processing of walls of a residual cavity by ozonized 17% hypertonic solution of NaCl was used and this procedure showed obvious (p < 0.05) advantages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of postoperative bile leak is the major outcome measure for the assessment of operative success in partial cystectomy for hydatid liver disease. However, the optimal operative strategy to reduce the postoperative bile leak rate is yet to be defined. METHODS Medical records of patients who underwent partial cystectomy for hydatid liver disease between January 2013 and January 2015 were reviewed in this retrospective analysis. All patients were managed with a specific operative protocol. The primary outcome measure was the rate of persistent postoperative bile leak. The secondary outcome measures were the morbidity and mortality rate, and the length of hospital stay. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients were included in the study. Only one patient (3.6 %) developed persistent postoperative bile leak. The overall morbidity and mortality rate was 17.8 and 0 %, respectively. The median length of hospital stay was 5 days. CONCLUSION Aggressive preventative surgical measures have led to low persistent bile leak rates with low morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND large retrospective clinical study describing the long-term experience of a single center in the surgical management of liver echinococcosis in an endemic area. METHODS 232 patients were operated for liver hydatid disease between 1978 and 2012. Seventy-three patients (Group A) underwent a radical procedure (total pericystectomy or hepatectomy), while 145 (Group B) were treated with a more conservative method (partial cystectomy, with external drainage, omentoplasty or capitonnage) and 14 (Group C) received a combination of total and partial cystectomies. Morbidity, mortality, post-operative complications and recurrence rates in the long-term setting were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS Group A patients were treated with zero mortality and a morbidity rate of 10.95%. No recurrence was documented. In Group B, mortality reached 2.76%, (p = 0.153 compared to Group A) morbidity 24.13% (p = 0.021) and there were 10 cases of relapse (6.9%) at three-year complete follow-up (p = 0.989). Extrahepatic sites of disease were not uncommon. DISCUSSION radical surgical procedures were better tolerated by patients and yielded better results in terms of recurrence rates.

Abstract
A review was carried out in Medline, LILACS and the Cochrane Library. Our database search strategy included the following terms: “hydatid cyst”, “liver”, “management”, “meta-analysis” and “randomized controlled trial”. No language limits were used in the literature search. The latest electronic search date was the 7th of January 2014. Inclusion and exclusion criteria: all relevant studies on the assessment of therapeutic methods for hydatid cysts of the liver were considered for analysis. Information from editorials, letters to publishers, low quality review articles and studies done on animals were excluded from analysis. Additionally, well-structured abstracts from relevant articles were selected and accepted for analysis. Standardized forms were designed for data extraction; two investigators entered the data on patient demographics, methodology, recurrence of HC, mean cyst size and number of cysts per group. Four hundred and fourteen articles were identified using the previously described search strategy. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria detailed above, 57 articles were selected for final analysis: one meta-analysis, 9 randomized clinical trials, 5 non-randomized comparative prospective studies, 7 non-comparative prospective studies, and 34 retrospective studies (12 comparative and 22 non-comparative). Our results indicate that antihelminthic treatment alone is not the ideal treatment for liver hydatid cysts. More studies in the literature support the effectiveness of radical treatment compared with conservative treatment. Conservative surgery with omentoplasty is effective in preventing postoperative complications. A laparoscopic approach is safe in some situations. Percutaneous drainage with albendazole therapy is a safe and effective alternative treatment for hydatid cysts of the liver. Radical surgery with pre- and post-operative administration of albendazole is the best treatment option for liver hydatid cysts due to low recurrence and complication rates.

Abstract
Biliary fistulas are the most common morbidity (8.2-26%) following hydatid liver surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of subadventitial cystectomy in the treatment of liver hydatid cyst associated with a biliocystic fistula. The medical records of 153 patients who underwent subadventitial cystectomy for a liver hydatid cyst between January 2006 and December 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. Cysts were located in the right lobe anterior segment 37 (24.2%) patients, right lobe posterior segment 59 (38.6%) patients, the left lobe in 26 (17.0%) patients, and both lobes in 6 (3.9%) patients. The surgical procedures performed were closed (non-incised) subadventitial total cystectomy in 74 patients (48.4%), open (incised) subadventitial total cystectomy in 30 patients (19.6%), and subadventitial subtotal cystectomy in 49 patients (32.0%). Biliocystic communication was found in 52 patients (34.0%), and 21 patients (13.7%) were treated with T-tube drainage. Two patients had performed biliodigestive anastomosis. Biliary fistula was detected in 9 patients after subtotal subadventitial cystectomy. Biliary fistulas closed spontaneously within 10 days and 61 days respectively and the amount of drainage varying between 50 and 400ml after the procedure. Postoperative complication and recurrence rates were 19.0% and 0.7%, respectively. The mortality rate was 0%. Subadventitial cystectomy should be the surgical treatment of choice for this disease because of its feasibility and low rates of recurrence, complications of the residual cavity, and incidence of associated biliary fistula.

Background and aims: Surgery is the basic treatment for liver hydatid cyst (LHC). Radical procedures (pericystectomy (PK) and hepatic resection (HR)) offers better results in selected cases cases than conservative approaches. Aims of this study were to evaluate the results of Radical surgery for LHC and and to determine witch of these two procedures is safe in experienced hepato-biliary surgical unit in endemic countries.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 143 patients with liver hydatid cyst who underwent radical procedures at a single surgical department in an endemic country were reviewed. Mortality, morbidity and recurrence rates have been analyzed.
Results: Thirty-two patients (22.4%) had a HR and 111 patients (77.6%) had a PK. Mortality rate was 1.4% (n=2) in HR group. Overall morbidity rate was 18.9% and vs 28.1% respectively in PK and HR group (p=.26). Postoperative bleeding occurred in 1.8% in PK group vs 3.1% in HR group (p=.535) and specific LHC operative complication occurred in 17.1% in PK group vs 28.1% in HR group (p=.167). Recurrence rate of LHC was 6.3% in PK group vs 6.6% in HR group (p=.999) after a median follow up of 108 months (54-144) vs 89 months (44-135) respectively.
Conclusion: Radical surgery for LHC is safe. Each of PK and HR had a specific indication. A good screening of patient's guarantied a good outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydatid liver cysts are rare in North America. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal surgical management for hydatid liver cysts treated outside endemic areas. METHODS We reviewed the cases of consecutive patients who underwent management of hydatid liver cysts. Radical liver resections were compared with other types of procedures. Clinical presentation, investigations, perioperative outcomes and longterm follow-up were evaluated. We evaluated disease recurrence using the Kaplan- Meier method. RESULTS Forty patients underwent surgery for hydatid liver cysts. Most patients had single (68%) right-sided (46%) cysts with a median size of 10 cm. Most (83%) underwent liver resection with or without drainage/marsupialization. Radical liver resection was carried out in 60% (19 major, 5 minor). Additional procedures were required in 50% (biliary fistulization 30%, diaphragmatic fistulization 20% or paracaval location/ fusion 8%). Postoperative complications occurred in 48%. The median follow-up was 39 months. The 3-year recurrence-free survival was significantly different between patients who had radical resection and those who had other procedures (100% v. 71%, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION The surgical management of hydatid liver cysts in North America remains rare and challenging and is frequently associated with fistulizing complications. Excellent long-term outcomes are best achieved using principles of radical liver resection that are familiar to North American surgeons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of liver hydatid cysts is controversial. Surgery remains the basic treatment, and can be divided into radical and conservative approaches. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of radical and conservative surgery in the treatment of liver hydatid cysts. METHODS Data from all patients with liver hydatid cyst treated in a hepatobiliary surgical unit, between January 1990 and December 2010, were retrieved from a retrospective database. To minimize selection bias, propensity score matching was performed, based on 17 variables representing patient characteristics and operative risk factors. The primary outcome measure was hydatid cyst recurrence. RESULTS One hundred and seventy patients were matched successfully, representing 85 pairs who had either a radical or a conservative approach to surgery. At a median (i.q.r.) follow-up of 106 (59–135) and 87 (45–126) months in the radical and conservative groups respectively, the recurrence rate was 4 per cent in both groups (odds ratio (OR) 1.00, 95 per cent confidence interval 0.19 to 5.10). There were no statistically significant differences between conservative and radical surgery in terms of operative mortality (1 versus 0 per cent; P=0.497), deep abdominal complications (12 versus 16 per cent; OR 1.46, 0.46 to 3.49), overall postoperative complications (15 versus 19 per cent; OR 1.28, 0.57 to 2.86), reinterventions (0 versus 4 per cent; P=0.246) and median hospital stay (7 (i.q.r. 5–12) days in both groups; P=0.220). CONCLUSION This study could not demonstrate that radical surgery reduces recurrence and no trend towards such a reduction was observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to provide a review of the world literature on the laparoscopic treatment of liver hydatid cyst. METHODS We conducted a literature search using PubMed, screening all English language publications on the laparoscopic treatment of liver hydatid cysts. Operative characteristics, perioperative morbidity, and clinical outcomes were tabulated. RESULTS A total of 57 published articles including 914 patients with 1116 hydatid cysts were identified. Of the resections done in the 914 patients, 89.17% were performed totally laparoscopically and 5.58% were gasless. The most common procedure was cystectomy (60.39%), followed by partial pericystectomy (14.77%) and pericystectomy (8.21%); the rest were segmentectomies. Conversion to open laparotomy occurred in 4.92% of reported cases (45/914). The common cause of conversion was anatomical limitations/inaccessible locations (16/45). The overall mortality was 0.22% (2/914 patients) and morbidity was 15.07%, with no intraoperative deaths reported. The most common complication was bile leakage (57/914). The postoperative recurrence was 1.09% (10/914 patients). CONCLUSIONS The laparoscopic approach is safe with acceptable mortality and morbidity for both conservative and radical resections in selected patients. Clinical outcomes are comparable to open surgery, albeit in a selected group of patients.

Abstract
The actual prevalence of hydatid disease in northern part of India is found more than usually interpreted. The present study has been done on 25 patients suffering from hydatid disease of various sites and treated during June 2009 to November 2011 at JLN Medical College and Hospital, Ajmer, with the aim of studying the clinical manifestations of hydatid disease of different sites and/or organ system and of analysing the morbidity and mortality of hydatid disease. The age, sex, h/o dog contact, duration of hospital stay, clinical presentation, treatment advised, findings and difficulties encountered during operation, and postoperative management of patients as well as morbidity and mortality were recorded and analysed. We observed that the mean age was 40 years. The sex incidence revealed female preponderance in the study (M : F: 1 : 2). Duration of illness in the present study varied from 1 month to 6 years in case of liver hydatid disease. Majority of patients were from rural areas (21) and the remaining (4) from urban areas. Swelling was the most common presenting feature. Incidence of hydatid disease at unusual sites in India is higher than in other parts of the world.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare partial cystectomy and internal drainage of the cyst cavity with cystojejunostomy for the surgical treatment of giant hepatic hydatid cysts. METHODS Patients who underwent any type of surgical treatment between March 2009 and May 2013 for giant hepatic hydatid cysts were retrospectively evaluated. The data collected included demographic variables, diagnostic methods, surgical procedures, morbidity and mortality rates. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients who underwent surgery for giant hepatic hydatid cysts were included. There were 16 (57 %) female patients, with a mean age of 32.8 years. The diagnostic methods primarily included abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography, which were performed in 62 % of the patients. The patients were divided into two groups with respect to the treatment modality: Group A (n = 13) treated with cystojejunostomy and Group B (n = 15) treated with partial cystectomy. The overall rate of cavity-related complications was 25 % in Group B, whereas none of the patients in Group A had a cavity-related complication during the follow-up period (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Cystojejunostomy is an effective and safe surgical approach for the treatment of giant hepatic hydatid cysts, with a lower rate of morbidity than partial cystectomy, and thus may be the surgical treatment of choice for giant hepatic hydatid cysts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydatid disease, infection with the larval stage of the cestode Echinococcus spp., represents a substantial disease burden worldwide. We report here the outcomes of conservative surgery in patients with abdominal echinococcosis. METHODS We carried out a retrospective review of patients who underwent conservative surgery for abdominal hydatid disease during the period January 2008 to December 2011. Perioperative outcomes were analysed after a mean follow-up of 24 months (range 6-36 months). RESULTS Thirty patients (mean age 40.4 years; male:female=7:3) underwent surgery. Most (29 patients) had a hepatic hydatid cyst and underwent partial cystectomy with omentoplasty; surgery was open in 22 cases (73%), laparoscopic in six cases (20%) and laparoscopic converted to open in one case (3%); one patient with a splenic cyst underwent open splenectomy. Cystobiliary communication was present in 10 cases (3%). Postoperative complications included transient biliary leak in two cases (7%), grade 1 surgical site infection in five cases (17%) and respiratory tract infection in three cases (10%), with no mortality. Mean hospital stay was 17 ± 9.2 days. None of the patients had recurrence of disease on follow-up imaging. CONCLUSION Conservative surgery offers an effective approach for abdominal echinococcosis, with minimal morbidity or recurrence, and is an alternative to radical procedures.

Abstract
Bile leaks from the intrahepatic biliary tree are an important cause of morbidity following hepatic surgery and trauma. Despite reduction in mortality for hepatic surgery in the last 2 decades, bile leaks rates have not changed significantly. In addition to posted operative bile leaks, leaks may occur following drainage of liver abscess and tumor ablation. Most bile leaks from the intrahepatic biliary tree are transient and managed conservatively by drainage alone or endoscopic biliary decompression. Selected cases may require reoperation and enteric drainage or liver resection for management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver cysts are common, occurring in up to 5% of the population. For many types of cysts, a variety of different treatment options exist and the preferred management is unclear. METHODS A Pubmed and Medline literature review using key words non-parasitic hepatic cysts, polycystic liver disease, echinococcus, hydatid cysts parasitic cysts, Caroli's disease, cystadenoma; liver abscess, surgery, aspiration and treatment was undertaken and papers pertaining to the diagnosis and management of cystic lesions within the liver were retrieved. RESULTS Asymptomatic simple cysts in the liver require no treatment. Therapy for symptomatic cysts may incorporate aspiration with sclerotherapy or de-roofing. At present, insufficient evidence exists to recommend one over the other. Polycystic liver disease presents a unique management problem because of high morbidity and mortality rates from intervention and high rates of recurrence. Careful patient counselling and assessment of symptom index is essential before embarking on any treatment. New medical treatments may ameliorate symptoms. Acquired cystic lesions in the liver require a thorough work-up to fully characterize the abnormality and direct appropriate treatment. Hydatid cysts are best treated by chemotherapy followed by some form of surgical intervention (either aspiration and sclerotherapy or surgery). Liver abscesses can effectively be treated by aspiration or drainage. With improved antimicrobial efficacy, prolonged treatment with antibiotics may also be considered. CONCLUSION All patients with cystic lesions in the liver require discussion at multi-disciplinary meetings to confirm and the diagnosis and determine the most appropriate method of treatment.

Abstract
Hydatid disease is a common but little studied disease in Himachal Pradesh, India. This is a retrospective study from the Lady Willingdon Hospital, Manali. 115 patients presenting from April 1996 to March 2007 were included. Outcome measures were mortality and morbidity. 70 patients were female and 46 were male. (One female patient was operated on twice). 78% (n = 90) of the occurrences were hepatic. There were other varied sites. There were fourteen pulmonary hydatids. All patients underwent surgical cystectomy. An "AIR Technique" (Aspiration, Injection, Reaspiration) is described for scolicidal deactivation after March 2003 utilized in thirty two patients. There was no mortality. There were five documented recurrences in our series all of which occurred in cystectomy done without the AIR (Aspiration, Injection, Reaspiration) technique. Hydatid disease is a common disease in Himachal Pradesh warranting a high index of suspicion leading to an early diagnosis. A simple technique called the "AIR TECHNIQUE" (Aspiration, Injection, Reaspiration) is described.

Abstract
GOAL Discuss the different therapeutic options based on results of a series of patients undergoing operation for hydatid cyst ruptured into the biliary tract. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 22 patients operated on between 2001 and 2007 for hydatid cyst ruptured into the biliary tract. RESULTS The mean age of patients was 37 years old. There were 14 men and eight women. Cholangitis was present in 59% of patients and isolated pain in the right upper quadrant was found in 20% of patients. Procedures performed included internal fistula drainage through the sphincter of Oddi (37.3%), cystobiliary disconnection by percutaneous transhepatic cystocholedochostomy (27.3%), bipolar drainage (27.3%), direct suture closure of the fistula (9.1%). The postoperative course was uneventful in 15 patients. Specific morbidity concerned four patients. An external biliary fistula and suppuration of the residual cavity was observed in two patients each. One patient died. Median survival was 24 months. No recurrence or late complications were seen in this series. CONCLUSION The management of hydatid cyst ruptured into the biliary tract is not consensual. Radical treatment is best because it provides definitive treatment of both the fistula and the cyst at the same time. However, conservative treatment is the preferred treatment in endemic countries. The choice of the technique depends of the experience of the surgeon, as well as local and topographic conditions. The best treatment remains preventive by eradication of echinococcosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biliary fistulas because of the cystobiliary communication is the most frequent and undesirable postoperative complication of hepatic hydatid surgery. We aimed to identify the predicting factors of the occult cystobiliary communication in this study. METHODS The patients who underwent surgical treatment for hepatic hydatid disease between 2003 and 2008 were reviewed retrospectively. The patients who had jaundice history, preoperative high total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels, dilated bile duct in preoperative radiologic imagings were not included the study. Patients were divided into two groups: group A; without postoperative biliary fistula, group B; with biliary fistula. The two groups were compared according to preoperative descriptive findings, cystic specialties, and laboratory findings. RESULTS There were 53 patients and 15 patients in groupA and groupB, respectively. The 20 (37.7%) of 53 patients were male in group A and the 10 (66.7%) patients were male in group B (p<0.05). The age, number of cysts, Garbi scores of cysts, the rate of recurrent cysts, the level of preoperative bilirubin, alkalene phosphatase, and transaminases were similar in both groups (p>0.05). GGT was significantly different between two groups (p<0.05). The cystotomy + drainage, cystotomy + omentopexy, and intracystic biliary suture rates were similar in both groups. Postoperative non biliary complications were determined in 4 (7.5%) patients in group A and 7 patients (46.7%) in group B (p<0.05). Hospital stay was longer in group B significantly (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, GGT as a laboratory [corrected] test for predicting occult CBC preoperatively have been shown to be useful in the clinical practice. However, larger prospective studies are needed on this subject. Occult cysto-biliary fistulas can only be exposed during surgery when suspected by a surgeon. If occult CBC is found, the opening in the biliary system should be sutured with absorbable material, with or without cystic duct drainage. If no biliary opening is found, cystic duct drainage may be performed if preoperative factors predict the presence of CBC. As the development of external biliary fistulas increases the morbidity and the hospitalization period, novel surgical methods to prevent the development of bile fistulas are required in such patients.

The aim of our study was to reduce the incidence of postoperative biliary fistulas after the suturing of cystobiliary communications by applying a bile leakage test. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 133 hydatid liver cysts from 93 patients were divided into two groups, according to whether the test was performed. Tests were performed on 56 cysts from 34 patients, and the remaining 77 cysts from 59 patients were treated without the test. In both groups, all visible biliary orifices in the cysts were suture ligated, and drains were placed in all cysts. The visibility of the biliary orifices and postoperative biliary drainage through the drains were recorded. Patients in both groups were also compared with respect to the number of days living with the drains, the length of the hospital stay, and secondary interventions related to biliary complications. RESULTS Biliary orifices were more visible in the tested cysts (13% vs. 48%; P <0.001). Fewer biliary complications occurred in the tested patients (8.8% vs. 27.7%, P = 0.033). The mean drain removal time (4.1 ± 3.3 days vs. 6.8 ± 8.9 days, P < 0.05) and the length of the hospital stay (6.7 ± 2.7 days vs. 9.7 ± 6.3 days, P,0.01) were shorter for the tested patients. None of the patients in the test group required postoperative Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) or nasobiliary drainage (0.0% vs. 8.4%, P = 0.09). There were no long-term biliary complications for either group after three years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Identification of biliary orifices with a bile leakage test and the suturing of cystobiliary communications significantly reduced postoperative biliary complications following hydatid liver surgery.

Study of the Radical vs. Conservative Surgical Treatment of the Hepatic Hydatid Cyst: A 10-Year Experience. Indian J Surg 2010; 72:448-52.

Abstract
The hepatic hydatid cyst is a major health problem in endemic areas. Surgery is still the best choice for the treatment of hydatid cyst of the liver. There is controversy regarding efficacy of radical versus conservative surgical approaches. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the two surgical methods in patients treated for the hepatic hydatid cyst. This is a retrospective review of the medical records of 135 patients who underwent surgery for the hepatic hydatid cyst from 1993 to 2003. Surgery comprised conservative methods (evacuation of the cyst content and excision of the inner cyst layers) and radical methods (total excision of the cyst and removal of its outer layer). One hundred thirty five patients underwent liver surgery. Conservative surgery was performed for 71 (53%), whereas, the remaining 64 patients (47%) underwent radical surgery. Local recurrence rate of the cysts was lower in the radical versus conservative surgery group and the mean length of hospital stay was shorter in the radical surgery group. Radical surgery of the hepatic hydatid cyst may be the preferred treatment because of its low rate of local recurrence, as well as short hospital stay.

Abstract
Background Hydatid disease of the liver remains endemic in the world and is an imported disease in The Netherlands. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment and outcome of surgically treated patients for hydatid disease in a single center in The Netherlands. Methods This retrospective study included 112 consecutive patients surgically treated for hydatid disease between 1981 and 2007. The primary outcome was relapse of the disease. Secondary outcomes were infections, complications, reoperations, length of hospital stay, and mortality. Results In all cases, echinococcosis was diagnosed by computed tomography or ultrasonography (US). Serology (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunofluorescence) confirmed the diagnosis in 92.9%. Most of the cysts were seen only in the liver (73.5%). All cysts were operated on with the frozen seal technique. Relapse of disease was seen in 9 (8.0%) cases. Five (4.5%) required surgical treatment at a later stage. Twenty (17.9%) complications were recorded. Four (3.6%) needed radiological drainage and three (2.7%) a reoperation. Follow-up was performed with US and/or serology at a mean of 24 months (range 0.5–300 months). All but one complication were seen in the liver-operated group, this proved not to be of statistical significance (P = 0.477). Patients with complications stayed significantly longer in hospital than did the patients without complications (P < 0.001). No mortality was observed in this study. Conclusions The present study suggests that the frozen seal method of surgery for hydatid disease is safe and effective. Future studies are needed to prove its position in the treatment of hydatid disease as new developments show promising results.

Abstract
AIM: To review the clinical presentation and surgical management of complicated hydatid cysts of the liver and to assess whether conservative surgery is adequate in the management of complicated hydatid cysts of liver.
METHODS: The study was carried out at Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Science, Srinagar, Kashmir, India. Sixty nine patients with hydatid disease of the liver were surgically managed from April 2004 to October 2005 with a follow up period of three years. It included 27 men and 42 women with a median age of 35 years. An abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography and serology established diagnosis. Patients with jaundice and high suspicion of intrabiliary rupture were subjected to preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. Cysts with infection, rupture into the biliary tract and peritoneal cavity were categorized as complicated cysts. Eighteen patients (26%) had complicated cysts and formed the basis for this study.
RESULTS: Common complications were infection (14%), intrabiliary rupture (9%) and intraperitoneal rupture (3%). All the patients with infected cysts presented with pain and fever. All the patients with intrabiliary rupture had jaundice, while only four with intrabiliary rupture had pain and only two had fever. Surgical procedures performed in complicated cysts were: infection-omentoplasty in three and external drainage in seven; intrabiliary rupture-omentoplasty in two and internal drainage in four patients. Two patients with intraperitoneal rupture underwent external drainage. There was no mortality. The postoperative morbidity was 50% in complicated cysts and 16% in uncomplicated cysts.
CONCLUSION: Complicated hydatid cyst of the liver can be successfully managed surgically with good long term results.

Abstract
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a public health problem in countries having such endemic areas. Epidemiological studies of CE, especially pediatric, are rare. The aim of this study was to evaluate epidemiological and clinical characteristics of CE in children in Serbia. Data were obtained retrospectively from the case records of patients under the age of 18 years admitted for surgical treatment of CE at two large pediatric medical institutions in the period 1990-2006. Patients' age, number of cysts and their anatomic location were evaluated in relation to differences by patients' gender and socio-geographic status (urban or rural origin). The study included 149 children with 272 hydatid cysts. The mean age of patients was 10.1+/-3.8 years. There were no significant differences in the number of patients in relation to gender and urban:rural origin. There were no significant differences in patients' age at the time of surgery or the number of cysts per patient when patients' gender or socio-geographic status was evaluated. The anatomic location of cysts was as follows: liver (N=165; 60.7%), lungs (N=82; 30.1%), and other locations (N=25; 9.2%). Multiple cysts, and combined liver/lung involvement were identified in 34.2% (N=51), and 6.0% (N=9) of patients, respectively. Hepatic cysts were significantly more common in girls than in boys. There were no significant differences in anatomic location of cysts between socio-geographic groups. The large number of infected children during a long period of investigation indicates an active transmission of disease and a lack of program for control and prevention of CE in Serbia.

Abstract
Hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE) is an emerging disease in central Asia, particularly in Pakistan, due to the migration of infected people. Medical records of patients with HCE admitted between 1995 and 2006 to a tertiary care hospital were reviewed. A total of 106 patients were admitted with a mean age of 34±17 years; 60 (56.6%) were men, 72 (67.9%) were residing in rural areas of Pakistan and 21 (19.8%) were Afghan refugees. Twenty-seven (25.4%) had extra hepatic cysts and liver cysts. All patients received albendazole. Percutaneous aspiration, instillation and reaspirarion was done in 14 (13.2%) patients and 71 (66.9%) underwent surgery. Three (2.8%) died and 14 (13.2%) had morbidity. This is one of the largest series of HCE reported from Pakistan. HCE is mostly prevalent in rural areas and among Afghan refugees with low mortality and recurrence, but with significant morbidity.
