Renal Echinococcosis: Clinical Study of 34 Cases

Abstract: Preoperative diagnosis of renal hydatid disease is difficult even in an endemic zone. Imaging studies are suggestive but usually inconclusive, and the differential diagnosis with a renal tumor or complicated cyst may not be made without surgery. Renal sparing surgery is possible in a significant proportion of cases, particularly when preoperative diagnosis has been considered. Significant surgical morbidity can be expected, and the risk of anaphylaxis and hydatid seeding, although low, should not be overlooked. Show more

“…The disease can be confused with tumors. Therefore, during surgery, complications such as unexpected cyst ruptures and anaphylactic reactions can develop (13,14). As confirmed by our study, the consideration of CE in the etiology of patients with renal cysts is important for the prevention of potential intraoperative complications.…”

“…We also assumed that the proportion of CE cases with surgery followed a triangular distribution -with parameters of 68%, 95% and 100% -as specified in five Spanish studies of hospitalized CE cases. [23][24][25][26][27] Data on the type of surgical intervention undertaken among surgical cases were obtained from the same sources. The burden associated with recurrence was captured in the "per intervention cost" of each surgical case.…”

“…Results of simple aspiration are associated with very high recurrence rate (upto 90 %). [13][14][15][16] Total or partial Nephrectomy is recommended when the hydatid cyst lesions breaking into the collecting system, rupture, infection and a serious kidney injury. [17][18][19] Radical surgery included pericystectomy for the renal hydatid and partial Nephrectomy.…”
