Abstract EN
Background.
The best surgical technique for large liver hydatid cysts (LHCs) has not yet been agreed on.
Objectives.
The objective of this study was to examine the role of perioperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and biliary drainage in patients with large LHCs.
Methods.
A 20-year retrospective study of patients with LHCs treated surgically at the University Clinical Center of Kosovo (UCCK).
We divided patients into 2 groups based on treatment period: 1981–1990 (Group I) and 2001–2010 (Group II).
Demographic characteristics (sex, age), the surgical procedure performed, complications rate, and outcomes were compared.
Results.
Of the 340 patients in our study, 218 (64.1%) were female with median age of 37 years (range, 17 to 81 years).
71% of patients underwent endocystectomy with partial pericystectomy and omentoplication, 8% total pericystectomy, 18% endocystectomy with capitonnage, and 3% external drainage.
In Group I, 10 patients underwent bile duct exploration and T-tube placement; in Group II, 39 patients underwent bile duct exploration and T-tube placement.
In addition, 9 patients in Group II underwent perioperative ERCP with papillotomy.
The complication rate was 14.32% versus 6.37%, respectively (P=0.001).
Conclusion.
Perioperative ERCP and biliary drainage significantly decreased the complication rate and improved outcomes in patients with large LHCs.
