Abstract EN
Objective.
Although several therapeutic strategies have proven to be effective for hydatid cyst of liver, but surgery is still the most common therapy despite its morbidity and mortality.
Furthermore, a variety of technique has been recommended for managing the residual cavity after cystectomy.
We report here a new technical method for the reconstruction of hydatid cyst residual cavity with using overlapping flaps of liver edges (Vest over Pant).
Methods.
In this technique after removing the cyst, the edges of one side of cyst cavity were sutured to the base of the cavity using three to four mattress sutures), and edges of other side of liver was overlapped on the dorsal part of previous layer using four to five mattress sutures.
Therefore residual cavity dead space was obliterated with two surfaces of cavity.
Results.
Fifty males were treated by our method.
The average cyst volume was 423±110 mL.
There was no intraabdominal sepsis, bile leakage, or hepatic necrosis.
In follow-up ultrasound study, residual cavities were disappeared one month after operation.
Conclusion.
Overlapping flaps of liver edges (Vest over Pant) provides easy, safe closure of cyst with preservation of the liver anatomy.
