Hydatid cyst is a significant health problem in endemic regions. Although progress has been made in medical treatment and interventional radiology techniques, surgery is currently the treatment of choice. The hydatid cysts are known to occur at several unusual sites in the body. With increasing experience in laparoscopy and retroperitoneoscopy, attempts have been made to offer the advantages of minimal access procedures to hydatid disease patients. We present a case report of such a patient whose retroperitoneal hydatid cyst was removed endoscopically.
