Abstract
The article presents a review of literature data in order to study current problems in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of liver echinococcosis. At the present stage of technological progress, it is possible to study the genetic, anatomical and pathophysiological aspects of echinococcosis. The article highlights the advantages and disadvantages of surgical operations performed in patients with echinococcal liver damage. Methods and results of surgical treatment in various clinics are considered. The main surgical directions in the treatment of parasitic liver damage have been determined. These are more radical anatomical and extensive liver resections and minimally invasive, including laparoscopic and robotic techniques. Each of the methods used has its own niche of application and its own limitations. An opinion is expressed about the prospects for the development of minimally invasive methods of surgical treatment. The authors note the actual absence of a unified standardized tactics of surgical treatment at the moment. It is noted that the literature contains only fragmentary data on the possibility of combining minimally invasive and classical methods of surgical treatment. Despite the introduction of new methods of treatment, the percentage of complications and mortality are still high. Thus, the lack of uniform diagnostic standards and principles for determining surgical tactics testifies to the urgency of the problem of treating parasitic liver damage and determines the search for new solutions in order to improve the results of surgical treatment of this pathology.
