[Hydatoid cysts of liver--diagnostic and therapeutic problem].
In the Department of General Surgery of Medical University 11 patients with hydatid cysts of liver were operated. Ultrasonography and computer tomography allowed to define exact localization, size and contents of the cysts, what made possible planning of operating procedure. In 2 cases nonanatomic resection of liver parenchyma was performed, in 2 ones with coexisting stomach neoplasm just excision of the frontal wall of the cyst and emptying of the interior. In all the other cases the cysts were removed with surrounding liver tissue. Late results of surgical treatment with albendazol therapy are good. Diagnosis of echinococcic desease should be precised, considering with possibility of co-existing foci in other organs.
