“…Oral albendazole is recommended in all patients at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day and should be continued for three months in postoperative period to decrease the chances of contamination and recurrence. [15] The role of video-assisted thoracoscopic [14,18] surgeries for pulmonary hydatid and laparoscopic [19,20] surgeries for liver hydatid is well documented; however, we could not find any reference on laparoscopy for spleen preserving surgery for hydatid disease in paediatric age group. Most of the special instruments and techniques for minimal access hydatid surgery is based on the common principle of puncturing the cyst with instruments attached to suction apparatus [20] , so as to eliminate the risk of intraoperative contamination.…”

Multiorgan hydatid cysts caused by larval growth of Echinococcus granulosus, is a rare condition in paediatric age group. There are very few reports of management of multiorgan hydatid cysts, involving lung, liver, and spleen by minimally invasive approach in paediatric age group. Herewith, we are reporting a case of hydatid cysts involving lung, liver, and spleen in a six-year-old child managed by minimally invasive surgery along with the review of literature.

Laparoscopic management of renal and hepatic hydatidosis in a child: a case report and review of literature

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Hydatidosis is an endemic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Humans are accidental intermediate hosts. In children, it affects the lung in 64% of cases and the liver in 28%. Renal involvement is uncommon (2-4%). We operated 7 years old girl with renal and hepatic hydatidosis laparoscopically. Hydatid cyst should be kept as one of differential diagnosis while managing cystic disease of any organ in the body. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of renal hydatidosis with hepatic hydatidosis that has been managed laparoscopically. Laparoscopic surgery is safe and efficacious in managing multiorgan hydatid disease in children.
