“…Various surgeons have used different aspiration/suction devices, like simple needle aspiration [15], suction with liposuction device [16], large-diameter transparent cannula [17], Palanivelu hydatid system [18], special trocar used to suspend the cyst against the abdominal wall [19], and an aspiratorgrinder apparatus [20].…”

The aim of this article is to evaluate the role and safety of laparoscopic management of hydatid disease of liver using Palanivelu hydatid system (PHS) 1 with initial results. A prospective study of hepatic hydatid cyst underwent laparoscopic management using PHS, during the period from June 2008 to October 2010, in department of general surgery in a tertiary care institute. Selective patients were included in our study. Preoperatively 2 weeks and post operatively 6 weeks of Albendazole were given. All patients underwent surgery under general anesthesia. Hydatid cyst evacuation and omentoplasty were done with PHS system to prevent spillage. Cyst was irrigated with 2 % savlon. Drainage tube was kept near the cyst. There were 32 patients with 35 liver hydatid cysts operated. The mean operative time was 93.78 (70-180) min. Intraoperative complications were noted in two patients (6.2 %). Conversion was required in one patient (3.1 %). The mean duration of hospital stay was 3-10 days with an average of 5 days. There was no recurrence in mean follow-up of 3 years. There was no mortality with good subjective and objective cosmetic results. The laparoscopic cyst evacuation and omentoplasty using PHS are feasible and safe for treating the hydatid cyst of liver in selected patients. It aids early recovery with good cosmetic results.

Hydatid cyst of the liver is zoonosis caused by the larval stages of taeniid cestodes belonging to the genus Echinococcus and is still endemic in the South European regions, Asia, South America, North Africa, Australia, New Zealand and several Asian and European countries. The diagnosis of non complicated hydatid cyst of the liver depends on clinical suspicion. They appear in two ways as general (systemic) symptoms, and local symptoms based on the site and organ on which larva settles. While cysts sometimes recover spontaneously, more severe clinical presentations are observed in immunosuppressive individuals. Ultrasonography is the gold standard diagnostic tool and E. Granulosus antigen 5 (Ag5) and antigen B (Ag B) obtained from cyst fluid are used as a serologic diagnostic method in combination with the imaging method. The current treatment of hydatid cyst of the liver varies from surgical intervention to minimally invasive treatments (percutaneous drainage) or medical therapies. Surgery is still the best treatment tool. Percutaneous drainage and treatment of the cyst is a good option to surgery in selected cases. Multiple, superficial single cysts are the most suitable ones for surgical treatment. Also for complicated infected cysts pressing biliary tree and vital organs, surgery should be the first choice of treatment coming to mind. We believe that the laparoscopic approach should be safe to uncomplicated cysts. The purpose of our article is to provide a current review of clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic features of hydrated cyst diseases.

Hypothesis: Cyst content in hydatid liver surgery is a determinant of postoperative cavity-related complications.Design: Cohort analytic study.Setting: Referral public hospital.Patients: Sixty-seven patients who had conservative surgery for hydatid liver disease were analyzed prospectively. Cysts were grouped as to the contents. Cysts containing bile and/or pus were considered complicated, whereas others were uncomplicated. After partial cystectomy, cavities were managed with external drainage, omentopexy, or introflexion, determined by the choice of the surgeons. Main Outcome Measures:Outcomes were measured by postoperative cavity-related complications, such as biliary leakage (leakage for 10 days or less), biliary fistula (leakage for more than 10 days), cavity infections, and postoperative hospitalization.Results: Patient and cyst characteristics were comparable among the groups. External drainage technique had slightly more frequent cavity-related complications than omentopexy or introflexion (1.5-fold to 2-fold difference). More importantly, complications were significantly more frequent in the complicated cysts than in the uncomplicated cysts (7-fold to 30-fold difference). Mean postoperative hospitalization time for uncomplicated cysts was 6.5 days, and it was similar whether they were treated by external drainage, omentopexy, or introflexion (7.0, 6.2, and 5.8 days, respectively). Mean postoperative hospitalization time for complicated cysts was longer than for uncomplicated cysts (17.5 days; P=.008).Conclusions: Uncomplicated cysts have lower complication rates and short hospital stay with each cavity management technique. Complicated cysts have higher complication rates and longer hospital stay regardless of the management technique. Therefore, complicated and uncomplicated cysts should be considered different forms of the disease and evaluated differently.
