Clinical Trial Summary
The management of liver hydatid cysts (LHC) is controversial. Surgery remains the basic
treatment, and can be divided into radical and conservative approaches. The purpose of this
study was to compare the outcome of radical and conservative surgery (CS) in the treatment of
LHC and to evaluate the efficiency and safety of radical surgery (RS).
Description:
The management of liver hydatid cysts (LHC) is controversial. Surgery remains the basic
treatment, and can be divided into radical and conservative approaches. The purpose of this
study was to compare the outcome of radical and conservative surgery (CS) in the treatment of
LHC and to evaluate the efficiency and safety of radical surgery (RS).
Data from all patients with LHC treated in Sahloul Hospital, between January 2000 and
December 2019, were retrieved from a retrospective database. To minimize selection bias,
propensity score matching (PSM) was performed, based on variables representing patient
characteristics and operative risk factors.
RS especially total pericystectomy had fewer postoperative complications and lower recurrence
rate compared to CS. RS may be the preferred procedure for LHC if the expertise is available.
