title: [Use of Cetremide in the surgery of hydatid cysts].
abstract: The satisfactory treatment for hydatid disease is surgical removal of the cyst. The use of different chemical scolicide such as formalin, alcohol and hypertonic solution of NaCl intra-cavity are common. The purpose of this paper is to present the use of a new scolicide agent CETRIMIDE (cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide), first experimentally then in 7 patients with hydatid disease in different location. The special techniques described, no sign of toxicity or recurrence noticed. I have found this is a reliable method of preventing recurrences. No recurrence was found in our series after 2 years of follow-up.
