title: [Total pericystectomy in the treatment of hepatic echinococcosis].
abstract: Fourteen patients, affected with hepatic echinococcosis, who underwent total pericystectomy at II Patologia Chirurgica, University of Bari-Italy, were retrospectively evaluated. The period considered was July 1987-December 1988. Immediate (low morbidity and no mortality) and late (no recurrences) results showed that total pericystectomy is the treatment of choice in hepatic hydatidosis.
