Comparison Between Omentoplasty and Partial Cystectomy and Drainage (Pcd) Techenques in Surgical Management of Hydatid Cysts Liver in Endemic Area (Yemen)

“…Hydatidosis the other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are highly endemic but patchily distributed among the 20 countries and almost 400 million people of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and disproportionately affect an estimated 65 million people living on less than US$2 per day (Hotez et al, 2012).
