- Abstract
Objective: The aim of our study was to com pare the outcomes of patients who had undergone surgery or percutaneous treatment for liver hydatid cyst (LHC) in our clinic. Material and Methods: A total of 114 patients treated for LHC between the years 1997 to 2013 were evaluated retrospectively from their files. Patients were evaluated in terms of demographic characteristics, complaints, cyst characteristics and complications. Results: There were 47 (41.2 %) males and 67 female (58.8%) aged between 6 and 16 years. The complaint was pain in 49% and abdominal swelling in 37.7%, while obstructive jaundice was present in 1 patient at the time of presentation. The cyst was found incidentally in 14 (12%) patients. Only one cyst was present in 90 patients (79%) and there were multiple cysts in 24 patients (maximum 10). The cyst was localized in the liver in 85 (74.6%) patients while there were other cysts, mostly in the lung in 29 (25.6%) patients. The cyst size was 3 to 16 cm. The mean cyst size in the patients undergoing surgery and percutaneous treatment was 96 mm and 70 mm respectively (p=0.001). Surgery was used in 82 (72%) patients and percutaneous treatment in 32 (28%). There were 4 recurrences (in the operated group), 3 cyst infections (in the operated group), and 3 prolonged biliary drainage cases (1 in the percutaneous treated group). Bile duct connection was seen in 5 patients who underwent open surgery. Abdominal swelling was more frequent than pain at presentation in the surgical group while the opposite was true for the percutaneous treatment group (p=0.001). The isolated LHC rate was higher in the PAIR (Puncture, Aspiration, Injection, Reaspiration) group than the operated group. The rate of LHC together with pulmonary cyst was higher in the surgical group (p=0.002). The groups were similar in terms of other parameters. Conclusion: Percutaneous treatment could be used as the primary treatment for LHC in selected cases as it is minimally invasive, does not cause scarring, and has a low morbidity and mortality rate and shorter hospitalization period, although surgical repair should be considered in complicated cases.
