The role of omentoplasty in the surgical management of remnant cavity in hepatic hydatid cyst

Abstract: Postoperative surgical site infection, bile fistula, recurrence rate and overall morbidity were seen less frequently in patients who underwent omentoplasty in our series. Mean duration of hospital stay was significantly shorter in patients who underwent omentoplasty operations. Because omentum has a high absorptive capacity and the capability to fill the residual cavity, we recommend omentoplasty to manage patients with hydatid cyst of the liver, whether complicated or uncomplicated.

“…Another factor contributing to early discharge of patients in the OP group was the absence of bile leak and consequent early removal of the tube drain. Data published by Muftuoglu et al [21] and Utkan et al [22] support our study. We did not encounter any mortality.…”

“…In our opinion, performing an omentopexy and a thoracomyoplasty after the infection is under control is a more widely accepted approach. As reported in previous studies, the omentum is a well-perfused tissue ideal for infected areas, and it protects the bronchial stump [10,16]. Once the BPF is closed, the treatment we have recently applied in postpneumonectomic empyema is vacuum assisted closure [17].…”

“…Our position is guided by an attempt not to leave a residual cavity, implementing either a total or partial pericystectomy, leaving a small piece of pericyst that does not require treatment. When, in spite of everything, a cavity remains, the decision can be made to perform a capitonnage or omentoplasty, depending on the location and shape of the cavity (evidence type 2b and 4) …”
