Radical versus conservative surgical treatment of liver hydatid cysts: A paired comparison analysis

Association between radical versus conservative surgery and short-term outcomes of hepatic cystic echinococcosis in Nyingchi, China: a retrospective cohort study

“…In terms of overall morbidity, result in our study is consistent with Georgiou GK, et al [ 9 ] and Farhat W et al [ 19 ]. Georgios K, et al [ 9 ], conducted a retrospective cohort study of 232 patients with hepatic cystic echinococcosis and found a lower rate of morbidity and post-operative complication in the RS group.…”

“…However, out of our expectation, we found 0.6 h shorter operation time in the RS group. As for blood loos during surgery, result in our study is in accordance with Farhat W et al [ 19 ] who observed a higher incidence of intraoperative bleeding in the RS group. On the contrary, Daradkeh S et al [ 26 ], found no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss in a prospective randomized control study involving 32 patients.…”

“…Georgios K, et al [ 9 ], conducted a retrospective cohort study of 232 patients with hepatic cystic echinococcosis and found a lower rate of morbidity and post-operative complication in the RS group. Farhat W et al [ 19 ], by using paired comparison analysis in a cohort of 914 patients, observed lower rate of overall morbidity in the RS group before and after paired-match. The same outcome was observed in our cohort.…”

“…Pang Q et al [ 20 ] found no difference in length of surgery between CS and RS group. Efanov M et al [ 11 ], Farhat W et al [ 19 ] observed that RS was more time consuming. Also, Akbulut S et al [ 25 ] estimated about 30 min shorter operation time in the CS group.…”

Biliary fistula and late recurrence of liver hydatid cyst: Role of cysto-biliary communication: A prospective multicenter study

“…Medical treatment alone is ineffective, whereas laparoscopic or open surgical management of HCD is an integral treatment component[ 5 - 6 ]. With advances in minimal access surgery, laparoscopic HCD surgery is increasingly being performed, varying from the more conservative choice of partial cystectomy and omentoplasty to the more radical choice of pericystectomy or hepatic resection determined by cyst location, cyst size, risk of complications, and surgical expertise[ 7 ]. As HCD is benign, liver resections are avoided as much as possible to reduce perioperative morbidity, such as liver failure[ 8 ].…”
