title: [Results of the treatment of hepatic echinococcosis by hydatectomy].
abstract: In 72 patients with hydatid disease results and complications of different operation techniques are compared. Whereas we previously preferred pericystectomy and resecting methods we now perform irrigation and drainage in hydatid cysts of the liver. By use of a simple, flexible instrument even poorly accessible cysts can be transferred to irrigation and drainage therapy. Results of this procedure are good. The complication rate was decreased.
