title: [Treatment policy for postoperative complications in patients with hepatic echinococcosis and bile duct affection].
abstract: Results of surgical treatment of 277 patients with hepatic echinococcosis and bile duct affection demonstrated that the rate of specific postoperative complications depends on duration of the disease, location and size of the parasitic cyst, changes in the cyst (suppuration, calcification), and also on the level of the lesion in the bile ducts. They were seen in the lesion of the segmental ducts 1.5 times less (18%) often than in the lesion of the hepatic ducts (25.7%). Early diagnosis, adequate surgical treatment, characteristics of pathological alterations in the cyst and bile ducts influence treatment outcomes. Postoperative complications arose in 25.9% cases with lethality 1.4%. These complications were diagnosed 6 times less often after elimination of the residual cavity, suturing of bile fistulas or other methods (resection, pericyctectomy) application than after drainage of the residual cavity.
