[Surgical treatment of hepatic echinococcosis and its complications].
Over 11 years 280 patients underwent surgery for hepatic echinococcosis. A complicated form of the disease was revealed in 151 (54%) patients. Suppuration of cyst was in 88 (31.4%) patients, perforation of cyst into biliary tract--in 87 (31.1%), compression of bile ducts by cyst with mechanical jaundice--in 5 (1.8%), perforation into abdominal cavity--in 2 (0.7%) and cyst's calcification--in 9 (3.2%). The diagnosis was based on clinical, objective and instrumental examinations. The most informative methods in diagnosis of hepatic echinococcosis were US (96.7%) and CT (100%). Radical operations were performed in 26 patients: pericystectomy--6, "ideal" echinococcectomy--11, resection of the liver--9. In true bursting of parasite's elements into biliary tract with mechanical jaundice and cholangitis, the correction of biliary tract's passability was carried out. Postoperative complications were revealed in 33.2% patients, in the most cases they were non-specific. Lethality was 1.7% (3 patients).
