Laparoscopic Treatment of Hydatid Hepatic Cyst

The treatment of hydatid cyst includes various forms: from open surgery to laparoscopic and endoscopic therapies, all enhanced by specific antiparasitic drugs. In this chapter are summarized the main techniques of laparoscopic treatment of hydatid cyst and its major postoperative complications. Surgical techniques described vary depending on the topographic location, expression on the surface of the liver, presence of complications, type of bilio-cystic fistula and experience of the surgical team. Also a series of specific devices meant to treat this disease are noted. PAIR method was not detailed in this chapter because is a percutaneous method. Laparoscopic approach of hepatic hydatid cyst is used increasingly in the treatment of this condition and for experienced teams this can become the most effective method of treatment, in combination with antiparasitic medication.
