Background: The liver is the most common organ of the body that is at risk of getting affected by hydatid cyst (75%). All lobes of the liver can be involved with the formation of hydatid cyst, but the right lobe is more involved than the left lobe. The rate of involvement of liver dome and segments 7 and 8 of the right lobe has not been reported so far, but the best treatment for liver hydatid cyst has been found to be surgery.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 240 patients with liver hydatid cyst underwent surgery from 2005 to 2017. In this retrospective study, the variables of gender, age, number of liver cysts, involvement of lobe and segments, simultaneous involvement of liver and lung, laparotomy, thoracotomy, the number of patients referred due to the lack of finding cysts in laparotomy, and surgical complications were analyzed.
Results: The results showed that the majority of patients were males with age ranging from 8 to 68 years. Right lobe involvement was observed in most of the patients. About 62 patients showed involvement of liver dome and segments 7 and 8. Therefore, 62 patients underwent thoracotomy according to the criteria introduced and the rest of the patients ( = 178) underwent laparotomy. The results showed that there was a potential for capitonnage in 46 patients in thoracotomy. The pain score was 4-5 according to the VAS criterion. The rate of using analgesic drug did not show significant difference between the two methods.
Conclusion: During the manipulation, cysts might be ruptured and give rise to complications such as spread of the disease, shock, and anaphylaxis, which may be followed by legal complaints. Therefore, in order to perform the surgery successfully, a new method along with computed tomography (CT) scan has been introduced in this study, which can be very helpful.

Extracorporeal liver surgery (ELS), also known as liver autotransplantation, is a hybrid (cross-fertilized) surgery incorporating the technical knowledge from extreme liver and transplant liver surgeries, and recently became more embraced and popularized among leading centers. ELS could be summarized into three major categories, namely, ex-situ liver resection and autotransplantation (ELRA), ante-situm liver resection and autotransplantation (ALRA) and auxiliary partial liver autotransplantation (APLA). The successful development of ELS during the past 37 years is definitely inseparable from continuous efforts done by Chinese surgeons and researchers.

Introduction: AE and whether the inhibition of the MyD88 inflammatory pathway can enhance Ghrelin expression to collaboratively modulate AE progression remains unclear.
Methods: In this study, we evaluated Ghrelin serum levels and changes in TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway proteins and inflammatory factors in AE patients and mouse models at different stages of infection (-4, -8, and -12 weeks). Additionally, we administered the MyD88 inhibitor TJ-M2010-5 intraperitoneally to infected mice to evaluate alterations in inflammation and Ghrelin levels, as well as disease progression.

Medical and surgical treatments for cystic echinococcosis (CE) are challenged by various complications. This study evaluates in vitro protoscolicidal activity of piperine-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PIP-MSNs) against protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus. MSNs were prepared by adding tetraethyl orthosilicate to cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and NaOH, and then loaded with PIP.

Objective: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by the larval stage of the parasite is a global health problem. This study aimed to assess cases of CE admitted to our General Surgery Department retrospectively, as there is no known similar publication concerning surgical treatment of abdominal cystic echinococcosis in Çanakkale province.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed laboratory and radiological findings alongside clinical and demographic features, treatments, and outcomes of cases undergoing surgical treatment for abdominal cystic echinococcosis in our department between 2012 and 2022.
