title: [Laparoscopic fenestration of non-parasitic liver cysts].
abstract: Cysts of the liver may be parasitic or non-parasitic, the non-parasitic cysts being further subdivided into neoplastic, inflammatory, post-traumatic and congenital. Symptomatic congenital solitary cysts represent a good indication for laparoscopic treatment. During the therapeutic procedure, the roof of the cyst is fenestrated or removed such that at least one-third of the circumference of the cyst is removed, which is best done using a harmonic scalpel. In order to prevent a recurrence, it is recommended that a portion of the greater omentum be placed in the floor of the cyst, thus filling the cystic cavity.
