Hydatid Cyst Removal is a surgical procedure to remove cysts caused by the Echinococcus parasite, typically found in the liver, lungs, or other organs. Hydatid cysts can lead to organ dysfunction and may cause severe complications if left untreated.
The surgery typically involves removing the cyst and any affected tissue, and care is taken to avoid spillage of cyst fluid, which could lead to infection. The procedure may be done through open surgery or laparoscopically, depending on the location and size of the cyst.
Postoperative care includes monitoring for infection, managing pain, and providing antibiotics to prevent secondary infections. Follow-up imaging is required to ensure complete removal of the cyst.
Hydatid cyst removal is essential for preventing further damage to organs like the liver or lungs and for ensuring long-term health, as untreated cysts can lead to life-threatening complications.
