Percutaneous ultrasonography-guided nephroscopic evacuation of hydatid cyst in posterior segment of liver

Abstract

Hydatid disease commonly affects liver and treatment of choice is surgery. Ultrasound examination is helpful to diagnose, classify and plan management of the cyst. Surgical treatment is done using a conventional open technique or minimal access technique. We report our experience of using ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephroscopic approach to treat liver hydatid cyst.
