Hydatid cysts of liver and portal hypertension.

Two cases of portal hypertension due to hydatid cysts of the liver are reported. In one of the patients, symptoms were secondary to obstruction of inferior vena cava and hepatic outflow tract. The other patient was operated on with a diagnosis of extrahepatic presinusoidal portal hypertension caused by extrinsic compression of the liver by an hydatid cyst. Although hydatidosis is a benign disease, it can produce serious complications as in these reported cases. Therefore hydatidosis should be remembered amongst the causes of portal hypertension in countries where the disease is endemic.

Introflexion as a method of surgical treatment for hydatid disease.

For the management of the residual cavity after removal of a hydatid cyst, several surgical methods have been suggested. To prevent the undesirable results of the previously suggested techniques, we have been using a new method called introflexion. This simple, safe and effective method has been described and discussed herein.

Treatment of liver hemangiomas by enucleation.

Nine patients with hemangiomas of the liver were treated by enucleation between 1976 and 1985 at the Surgical Department of Istanbul (Turkey) Medical School. The tumors were removed by dissecting the plane between the capsule of the hemangioma and normal liver tissue. The diameters of the tumors ranged from 8 to 23 cm. There was no mortality and no massive bleeding. It is suggested that hemangiomas can be removed by an enucleation technique with low mortality and morbidity, rather than by liver resection.

Choledochoduodenostomy for intrabiliary rupture of hydatid cysts of liver.

Frank intrabiliary rupture is an important complication of liver hydatid cysts and its incidence is between 5 and 25 per cent. The main principles of management are the surgical treatment of the cyst with removal of all cystic elements and drainage of the biliary tree. Accurate pre- and intra-operative diagnosis and permanent drainage of the biliary tree by a wide choledochoduodenostomy are important to reduce morbidity and mortality. In this report 28 cases of frank intrabiliary rupture of hydatid cysts treated by choledochoduodenostomy are presented.
