[Hydrogen peroxide in the surgery of hydatid cyst].
Discouraged by the dangers and drawbacks of the usual scolicidal agents (formalin or strongly hypertonic saline), the authors have tried and adopted hydrogen peroxide in surgery of hydatid cysts. Liberal applications of this product on the operative field seem to be devoid of harmful effects. This, together with constant and rapid effectiveness, easy handling, low cost and wide availability should recommend hydrogen peroxide as the sole scolicidal agent in general surgery units.
