[Cryosurgery of alveolar hydatid disease of the liver].
The authors describe an original cryoapparatus for cryosurgical operations on the liver. They have studied cryostimulation of the liver in experiment in 22 dogs and established that the destroyed portions of the liver turned into a tender cicatrice within 2--3 weeks. Cryoresection created homeostasis only of fine vessels. Large vessels and ducts require isolated ligation in the incision plane. Operations were performed on 6 patients with alveococcosis of the liver subjected to cryodestruction of parasitogenic nodes and 1 cryoresection of the liver with a favourable outcome. The authors positively estimate the effect of cryosurgery on parasitogenic nodes in alveococcosis because such procedures result in the death of the parasite.
