“…The detection of occult CBC is essential. In our study, occult CBC and the subsequent development of postoperative biliary leak occurred in 16 patients (6.6%), which was lower than that in the two studies (27% and 16%, respectively)[ 19 - 20 ]. The low incidence of POBF in our study may be due to variations in sample size, different surgical approaches, and inclusion criteria, especially deep/centrally located cysts, such as those in medial segments such as IVa, V, and VIII, extended deep into the liver parenchyma and was closely related to major biliovascular structures with a higher incidence of CBC in these studies.…”

The documentation of psychological trauma is obviously a challenge to clinicians while they are diving deep into remote events related to their clients or patients. The potential role of psychological trauma in the early developmental stages, and even the existence of adverse childhood experiences, is important to prove, yet it is difficult to do so. A diverse range of methods have been applied, all of which presumably benchmark a big therapeutic step; however, these enthusiastic methods frequently do not last for long. While hypnosis supporters, Freudian and Neo-Freudian disciples can be acute enough to enhance and uncover suppressed memories, modern psychiatry relies mostly on diversely structured interviews. Functional magnetic resonance and its related subtleties might help, but the questions that remain unanswered are numerous and confusing. Connecting early experiences with long-term memory while identifying psychological trauma its importance for the individual’s growth trajectory; thus, it remains an intriguing issue.

“…For the treatment of CE, there are several options depending on the stage of the disease, the size and location of the cyst (as well as any complications)—also in children. The main treatment options are drug treatment, a watch-and-wait strategy, a percutaneous procedure (PAIR procedure, PPDC procedure, or radiofrequency ablation), and radical surgery [ 38 , 39 ]. In all cases, therapy is initially carried out with an anthelmintic, i.e., with preparation of benzimidazoles, e.g., albendazole.…”

Echinococcosis is considered a neglected disease in most European countries. However, migratory flows of populations, long-term stays in endemic areas, uninterrupted tourism (travel to Echinococcus-endemic countries), traveling dogs and dog translocations from endemic areas, and inappropriate hygiene practices are potential factors that alarm public health officials. Identifying a cyst-like mass in the liver or lung of an individual with a travel history of likely exposure to sheepdogs in an area where the parasite Echinococcus (E.) granulosus (sive cysticus) is endemic advocates for a prompt preliminary diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE), no matter the age of the affected individuals. Routine imaging techniques, including ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, are used to detect cysts. After a cyst has been discovered, serologic investigations are used to confirm the diagnosis. Typically, alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is found in older individuals. Yet young people are also affected because frequent oral exploration of the environment is a regular behavior for infants and toddlers. In this review, therapeutic considerations for pediatric echinococcosis—drug-based benzimidazole therapy; AE: atypical liver resection, the resection of individual or multiple segments, a right or left hemi-hepatectomy, or an extended hemi-hepatectomy; CE: PAIR-technique, cyst excision, liver segment(s) resection (laparoscopically or conventionally)—are revised following experience in one of the most affected regions of Europe. In addition, we performed a systematic review using three databases (i.e., PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus) to evaluate the quality of evidence in published studies on pediatric echinococcosis.

“…Анализируя периодическую специализированную литературу, складывается впечатление о достаточно разумной тенденции к применению всего арсенала хирургических методик по показаниям в лечении данной патологии, вплоть до роботических [13,14]. Однако осложнения, рецидивы и летальные случаи встречаются попрежнему даже в специализированных именитых хирургических центрах [15,16]. Современные тенденции к выполнению менее травматичных малоинвазивных вмешательств в ряде случаев идут в разрез с принципами радикализма выполняемой процедуры.…”

The purpose of the study is to present and evaluate the results of treatment of patients with parasitic liver damage using a modern diagnostic algorithm, various methods and stages of surgical treatment.Material and methods. The results of treatment of 81 patients (34 men (42%), 47 women (58%)) who underwent 104 surgical interventions for liver echinococcosis in the surgical department No. from 2015 to 2021. The difference in the number of operations performed and actual patients is explained by the use of a staged method of surgical treatment in some cases.Results. Of the total number of operated patients, one-stage surgical interventions were applied in 64 (79%) cases. In 17 (21%) patients, various staged methods of surgical treatment were applied, which made it possible to exclude some of them from the category of "non-resectable" and perform surgical treatment with good results. An unsatisfactory result of treatment with a fatal outcome was noted in one case from the total array of patients.Conclusion. The use of a modern diagnostic algorithm, various surgical techniques, including staged minimally invasive and laparoscopic ones, makes it possible to achieve good treatment results in a specialized surgical center.
