Surgical management of retroperitoneal hydatid cysts - results on a group of six patients
Objectives. Hydatid disease is a potentially lethal parasitic condition caused by the larvae of Echinococcus Granulosus; it is found in humans and more commonly in domestic and wild animals in endemic areas. This pathology is frequently encountered in the liver, the hydatid cyst with retroperitoneal...

| description | Objectives. Hydatid disease is a potentially lethal parasitic condition caused by the larvae of Echinococcus Granulosus; it is found in humans and more commonly in domestic and wild animals in endemic areas. This pathology is frequently encountered in the liver, the hydatid cyst with retroperitoneal location representing a rarely encountered form of evolution. Materials and Methods. In the present paper, we present a study carried out on 6 patients hospitalized in the Surgery Department of the Craiova County Emergency Clinical Hospital. These patients were diagnosed between 2002-2022 with retroperitoneal hydatid cyst or with multiple cysts (including retroperitoneal), being operated and monitored postoperatively at a distance. Results. The diagnosis was generally established by clinical examination, laboratory investigations and CT imaging, while the MRI evaluation was performed only in two of the cases, in order to provide additional data necessary for the surgeon. Conclusions. The difficulty of surgical interventions was determined by the size and local/multilocular extension of the disease; in the case of one patient, a double approach, abdominal and thigh, was necessary. |
