Laparoscopic Left Hepatic Lobectomy For Cystic Echinococcosis Of The Liver
Authors : Seoudi Zakaria .
Abstract
Liver involvement is the most common manifestation of cystic echinococcosis and generally necessitates surgical treatment. Although there is no clear consensus on whether radical or conservative surgery should be performed, selecting the most appropriate treatment to achieve the lowest morbidity, mortality, and recurrence rates is essential. With the dramatic development of minimally invasive techniques, there is a gradual shift toward laparoscopic surgery, particularly in favor of radical procedures, which have become a new branch of surgery for hepatic cystic echinococcosis. We present the case of a 39-year-old man referred to us after being diagnosed with isolated cystic echinococcosis of the left hepatic lobe, revealed on medical imaging with positive hydatid serology. We present the case of a 39-year-old man referred to us after being diagnosed with isolated cystic echinococcosis of the left hepatic lobe, revealed by medical imaging with positive hydatid serology. The patient received preoperative albendazole, followed by successful radical laparoscopic surgical resection. Postoperative recovery was rapid and favorable, allowing the patient to return home on the fifth day after the procedure. At 4 months of follow-up, the patient has excellent clinical progress with no residual symptoms.
