Abstract EN
This prospective study assessed the laparoscopic approach for treatment of HHC in Ain Shams University Hospitals from January 2010 to April 2012.
Laparoscopic partial cystectomy was performed in all patients; no conversion to open technique or anaphylaxis was recorded.
The mean operative time was 60 minutes with no perioperative mortality, while postoperative morbidity was recorded in 4 patients (36 %).
The mean length of hospital stay was 4.5 days.
Radiological and serological tests showed no recurrences at a median follow up period of 18 months.
Laparoscopic management of HHC is feasible gaining all the benefits of laparoscopy with no added morbidities or increased risk of recurrence.
Careful patient selection is mandatory to achieve successful results.
