Does primary surgical management of liver hydatid cyst influence recurrence?

Background And Aims: Hydatid disease is still a major health problem in sheep-raising areas. Surgery remains the basic treatment for liver hydatid cyst (LHC). However, recurrences can occur after all therapies.

Predictive model of biliocystic communication in liver hydatid cysts using classification and regression tree analysis.

Background: Incidence of liver hydatid cyst (LHC) rupture ranged 15%-40% of all cases and most of them concern the bile duct tree. Patients with biliocystic communication (BCC) had specific clinic and therapeutic aspect. The purpose of this study was to determine witch patients with LHC may develop BCC using classification and regression tree (CART) analysis

Methods: A retrospective study of 672 patients with liver hydatid cyst treated at the surgery department "A" at Ibn Sina University Hospital, Rabat Morocco.

Predictive factors of deep abdominal complications after operation for hydatid cyst of the liver: 15 years of experience with 672 patients.

Background: Operations are the mainstay of liver hydatid cyst (LHC) treatment. Operations are still associated with high morbidity and mortality because of specific postoperative complications (bile leaks, bilomas, deep bleeding, and deep suppurations) and deep abdominal complications (DAC). The aim of this study was to identify the predictive factors of DAC after LHC operation.

[Hydatid cyst of the psoas muscle].

While hydatid cysts may occur in any area of the body, isolated muscular localizations are rare. Only some thirty-odd such cases have been reported. The authors report the case of a 38-year-old man who consulted for isolated abdominal pain in the left iliac region.
