The postoperative appearance of the liver on scanning following omentopexy of the hydatid cyst.
Six patients were operated on for hydatid disease of the liver by the omentopexy method. On repeated scans of the liver performed respectively one and four years after the operation, it was seen that the scanning defect at the site of the cyst still remained, without being replaced by normal liver tissues. The patients recovered fully and had no complaints.
