Popis: INTRODUCTION: Traditionally, hydatid cysts were treated by open surgery. We estimated the role of laparoscopy in surgery of liver echinoccosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 25 patients were included in a 5-year prospective study. RESULTS: Laparoscopic surgery was initially performed in 8 cases with 3 conversions. Laparoscopic pericystectomy was performed in 3, and partial pericystectomy in 2 patients. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic surgery is feasible and should be performed in selected patients.
