Abstract

Introduction: Laparoscopic approach became a common practice for surgery of hydatid liver cysts in many centers worldwide. Immediate outcomes have been shown to be better after laparoscopic procedures in comparison with open surgery. Radical treatment is rarely performed by laparoscopic approach, although it has been suggested that total and subtotal pericystectomy (PE) can contribute to even greater improvement in results compared to conservative cystectomy with partial PE. We aimed to compare immediate and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic conservative treatment and radical surgery.
