Abstract

Main principles in the teratment of liver hydatid cysts are to kill and/or to remove the intermediate host form of the parasite which has caused the disease, to prevent the complications which the cyst may cause, evacuation of the cyst and to ensure a trouble-free closure. The ideal treatment should provide not only a full irecovery but also minimal morbidity and mortality.
