Objective: The most common cause of hydatid cyst disease is Echinococcus granulosus. Nowadays, minimally invasive methods such as laparoscopy used in the treatment of hepatic hydatid cyst (HHC). In this study, it is aimed to share the clinical, surgical and postoperative data of patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery with a diagnosis of HHC in our clinic.
Methods: Data of 105 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for HHC between January 2011 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who were diagnosed with HHC by clinical, indirect hemagglutination test, upper abdominal ultrasonography (USG) and upper abdominal tomography were included in the study. All patients received 10 mg / kg / day albendazole therapy for a total of six weeks, two weeks preoperatively and four weeks postoperatively. Demographic information, clinical characteristics, and the incidence and percentage of complications were analyzed by simple manual calculation.
Results: 64 (60.95%) of 105 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery were male and 41 (39.05%) were female. The mean age was 40.6 ± 11.7 years (18-65 age range). The mean cyst diameter was 8.4 cm in size (minimum: 6 cm, maximum: 16 cm). The mean operation time was 55 ± 11.45 minutes (Range: 42 to 70 minute). The mean hospitalization period of the patients was 3.7 days (Range 2 to 7). No recurrence was observed in the 18-month follow-up of the patients.
Conclusıons: HHC is a common disease in our country, and we think that laparoscopic approach is an effective surgical treatment option in suitable patients and in experienced centers.
