7 years of follow up of our first laparoscopic hydatic cycst of liver: a case report

Hydatic cyst in the left lobe of the liver of a 35 years old female patient was treated laparo­scopically, using the gassless 'laparolift' technic. She was not treated medically postoperatively. After 7 years she is still living without any complaint or symptom. This case is our first one using the laparoscopic technic. In time, when surgeons are more familiar with the laparoscopic tech­nic, selected cases of hydatic cyst in the liver may be treated laparoscopically.
