Surgical Management of the Liver Large Hydatid Cysts
224 liver hydatidosis patients were operated on. In 142 of them confined with partial pericistektomy, residual cavity tailoring accompanied with its external drainage. 21 patients underwent the liver resection (2 anatomic resections, 15 atypical, 4 hemihepatectomies). In the rest of patients close or open echinococcectomy was performed. For disease relapse prophylaxis an elaborated method of by Fenbendazole 0.5% alcohol solution processing of residual cavity was provided in 97 patients. It was ascertained, that in cases of large hydatid cysts liver resection or total perycystectomy should be considered as a modality of choice. Taking in consideration an effectiveness of Fenbendazole 0.5% alcohol solution as a hermicide it should be considered as an advisable residual cavity prociding tool in echinococcosis patients.
