Introduction: This study was undertaken to demonstrate the efficacy of the Hydatid Trocar Canula system for safe and effective treatment of hepatic hydatid cysts.

Materials And Methods: All cases presenting to our centre for treatment of hydatid cyst of the liver with certain exceptions were considered for laparoscopic management using the specifically designed Hydatid Trocar Canula system. The technique of surgery and the step wise sequence of deployment of the device are described.

Results: Since January 2007, 16 patients compromising six males and 10 females underwent this procedure at our centre. The average age of the patients was 37.6 years and all of them had a single cyst. The average duration of surgery was 86 minutes. None of the cases suffered intraoperative mishap like spillage or anaphylaxis. Till date, follow-up has been maintained in 81.3% of the patients and no recurrence has been detected.

Conclusion: The correct use of the Hydatid Trocar Canula system allows for spillage-free and complete evacuation of hepatic hydatid cysts.

Laparoscopic surgery has become a widely accepted standard of care for numerous procedures in the modern world. Nearly every major surgical procedure previously only possible by employing open techniques may now be completed laparoscopically, attributable to the quick advancement of technology and surgeons' abilities. There are several complications associated with the laparoscopic port site, either infective, non-infective, or neoplastic.

Article Synopsis
  • Hydatid disease is prevalent in areas with common animal breeding, often affecting the liver and requiring surgical intervention due to complications.
  • A study of 149 patients over seven years compared three surgical approaches: open surgery, standard laparoscopy, and laparoscopy with specialized instruments, revealing that the laparoscopic method with specialized tools was quicker and had fewer conversion rates to open surgery.
  • Intraoperative complications varied among the approaches, with the lowest occurrence in the specialized instruments group, highlighting the effectiveness of minimally invasive techniques for treating hydatid cysts.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the management of hepatic hydatid cysts by comparing conventional laparoscopic techniques to specialized instrumentation tailored for this disease.
  • A retrospective analysis of 41 patients highlighted a higher prevalence of hydatid disease in males and rural areas, with 58.54% of surgeries using specialized tools resulting in lower conversion rates to open surgery (2.44% vs. 12.2%).
  • Results showed that standard laparoscopic methods resulted in longer surgical times, more postoperative complications (12.2% vs. 7.32%), and extended hospital stays compared to specialized techniques.

Unlabelled: Splenic cysts are classified as primary (parasitic and nonparasitic) or secondary cysts. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic approach in surgical treatment of splenic cysts and abscesses.

Methods: Between 2002 and 2017, 17 patients underwent laparoscopic approach for splenic cysts and abscesses: 9 laparoscopic splenectomies (4 hydatid cysts, 3 primitive nonparasitic cysts, one posttraumatic cysts and one abscess) and conservative laparoscopic treatment 8 patients (2 hydatid cysts, 2 primitive nonparasitic cysts, 2 secondary cysts and 2 abscesses).
