ABSTRACT
Results of surgery in 52 cases of hepatic hydatid disease are described. Ultrasound examination proved to be the most useful and accurate diagnostic tool. All the patients were treated by enucleation of cyst and closed suction drainage of the cavity lined by pericyst. Mebendazole was given routinely pre-operatively for 15-30 days and postoperatively for 3 months. This mode of treatment had greatly reduced the morbidity and mortality as compared to conventional hydatid cyst surgery.
