[Proposed technic of drainage tunneling in marsupialization of hydatid cysts of the hepatic cupula].
Even though the present tendency is to make use of radical operations, such as pericystectomy, hepatic resection and lobectomy, in the surgical management of hydatidosis of the liver, marsupialisation is still the method of choince in a large and clearly defined number of cases. While usually simple, this operation may prove difficult and complex when used on cysts of the cupola, since it may often be necessary to mobilise the liver to a large extent and employ damaging approach routes. A description is offered of a particular technique for tunnelling the desinage tube which considerably simplifies marsupialisation in cases of this kind.
