[Surgical management of liver echinococcosis].
In the last ten years 62 patients were operated on by the authors because of liver echinococcosis. Each of the infections caused by echinococcus granulosus. In the course of the examination ultrasonography, abdominal X-ray, Casoni test and ELISA were used. Angiography and ERCP were applied only to answer special questions. The echinococcus cysts were removed in 15 cases by atypical liver resection, in 42 cases by pericystectomy and in 5 cases by partial cystectomy using the Pringle's manoeuvre in all of them. Operative mortality was 3.22%. Jaundice was observed in three cases, fever in five cases, wound infection in two cases. Reoperations had to be performed in two cases. All of the patients were treated postoperatively with mebendasol (Vermox). Recurrence of the infection could not be observed.
