title: [Diagnosis and surgical treatment of liver echinococcosis].
abstract: The results of surgical treatment of more than 600 patients with liver echinococcosis are analysed. The accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosis of the character of the damage is 88%; the combination of ultrasound methods with serology tests and computer tomography has increased the accuracy to 98-100%. New treatment approaches have been proposed depending on a character, location and extent of liver damage. The improvement of surgical technique made it possible to decrease the frequency of postoperative morbidity to 17.4% and mortality-to 3%.
