| Abstract | The following report describes a patient with a hydatid cyst located in segment V of the liver which was managed by laparoscopic pericystectomy performed in combination with cholecystectomy. Small hydatid cysts can be removed by the laparoscopic technique; meticulous resection, without opening the cyst, is involved. Compared to the classical approach by laparotomy, this method is less traumatic for the patient, it requires a shorter hospital stay, and it is followed by faster recovery. | |
