Abstract | BACKGROUND: We aimed to retrospectively analyze patients who underwent surgical treatment in our clinic for hydatid cysts in terms of the surgical methods implemented and their results. METHODS: Archival records of the patients who underwent surgery for the treatment of hydatid cysts between 2007 and 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The records of 425 patients who underwent surgery with varying ages of 16 to 88 years (mean: 44.5) were obtained. Among the patients, 33.9% (n=144) were male and 66.1% (n=281) were female. The most frequent symptoms were abdominal pain (46.4%) and dyspepsia (30.9%). About 79.5% of the patients had hydatid cysts in their livers, and 66.8% of these cysts were on the right lobe of the liver. Surgical intervention was performed on 513 cysts. The average diameter of these cysts was 8.3 cm. About 85.5% (n= 438) of the interventions implemented were partial cystectomy. Laparotomy was performed through the right subcostal incision on 81% (n=345) of the patients who underwent conventional surgery. The most frequently encountered complication was biliary fistula. The mortality rate was 0%. CONCLUSIONS: KEY WORDS:
