Abstract
Hydatid disease is caused by Echinococcus Granulosus and is a chronic parasitic disease in humans. The commonest organ involved in human beings is liver (50-80%) followed by lungs (15-47%). The surgical management of liver hydatid in humans has changed with the technological advances and modifications in laparoscopy from simple drainage to more advanced procedures like pericystectomy, segmentectomy and even hepatectomy in some cases. We conducted this study to assess the safety and outcomes of laparoscopic management of liver hydatid cysts in 37 patients and concluded that the Laparoscopic management of liver hydatid cyst is safe and effective in selected patients with a low recurrence rate and an acceptable biliary leak rate which can be managed with ERCP.
