Minimally Invasive Approach in a Child’s Renal Hydatid Disease: Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy
Abstract
Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease which is caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Renal infection in children is rare. Besides medical treatment, open surgery, laparoscopy and retroperitonoscopy have been started to be used increasingly. A 13-year-old girl with a kidney cyst hydatid applied to the hospital and laparoscopic excision was performed, and there was no complication in 12-month follow-up period. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a safe and feasible method for kidney cyst hydatid disease.
