Comparative Results of The Long-Term Period After Echinococcectomy from the Liver

Over the past decades, human echinococcosis has remained one of the most studied parasitic diseases. All patients were divided into two groups: the first (main) group included 202 patients for whom the treatment of the residual cavity after echinococcectomy from the liver was performed using an improved technique, the second group included 240 patients for whom the treatment of the residual cavity was performed by traditional methods. The comparative analysis was carried out taking into account the representative division between the main group of patients who underwent various types of residual cavity elimination, taking into account their pretreatment with an antiseptic in combination with ultrasonic cavitation, and the comparison group, whose patients underwent the same type of interventions with pretreatment of the residual cavity by traditional methods. In a comparative aspect, during follow-up up to three years after echinococcectomy from the liver, the proposed tactical aspects of residual cavity treatment reduced the need for long-term drainage from 11.3% to 3.5%.
