title: [Treatment of hydatid echinococcosis of liver].
abstract: Experience of surgical treatment of 373 patients with echinococcosis of liver is analyzed. Traditional surgeries were performed in 342 patients. Postoperative lethality was 1.46%, number of specific postoperative complications -- 12.5%. In long-term period recurrence was revealed in 18 (6.8%) of 264 examined patients. In 9 years after surgery residual cavities were diagnosed in 33 (9.64%) patients. Recovery was achieved in 93% patients. Experience of treatment of 31 patients with echinococcosis of liver with puncture methods (PAIR, PEVAC) was also analyzed. There were no lethal outcomes, severe complications and recurrences of disease during 2 years of follow-up. It is concluded that puncture method may be regarded as alternative for traditional surgical treatment, but it require further study.
