Videolaparoscopic treatment of liver hydatid cysts with partial cystectomy and omentoplasty. A report of two cases.
Hydatid disease is one of the world's most important health problems. Although several conservative approaches have been used for the management of this condition, surgery remains the ideal choice in most of the cases. Videolaparoscopic approach can safely be applied for the management of liver hydatid cysts if several precautions are undertaken. In this study, we present two liver hydatid cyst cases successfully treated with partial cystectomy and omentoplasty using videolaparoscopic approach.
