Abstract:
The hepatic echinococcosis is an anthropozoonosis and caused by the larva of Echinococcus. The main pathogenic type of Echinococcus in China is E. granulosus and E. multilocularis, which cause cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis respectively. At present, the treatment of hepatic echinococcosis has made great progress, but there are still some difficulties in the treatment of complex echinococcosis, especially of the cases existing one or more complications, and the focus of infection encroaching the hepatic portal, important vessels and bile vessel. This paper based on the literature reports and clinical experiences in recent years, puts forward the surgical treatment strategy for complex hepatic echinococcosis.
