title: [Diagnosis and treatment of hepatic echinococcosis with fistulas of the major bile ducts].
abstract: The authors report their experience of secondary major biliary fistula (MBF) for hepatic echinococcosis. The analysis of the results of the surgical treatments showed that "conservative" operations have major mortality than "radical" operations. The importance of an exact preoperative diagnosis of presence, side and size of MBF, in order to a correct choice of the most suitable operations, is underlined. Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography seems to be a reliable diagnostical technique, also if compared with traditional methods (U.S., C.T.).
