Present management of hydatid cyst of the varies from percutaneous drainage to surgical management and medical management. Methods: 60 patients were included in this study who had hydatid disease admitted in SNMC Agra from January 2021 to July 2022. There were two groups and each of them consisted 30 patients. Group A: open surgical management. Group B: laparoscopic surgical management. After surgery total patients followed up for 6 months. Results: The disease affected females (63.33%) in group-A and (60%) in group-B more than males (36.67%) in group-A and 40%) in group-B. The most common age Group involved was between 35-45 years 11 (43.33%) in Group-A and 35-45 years 15 (50%) in group-B. Post operative complications found (16.67%) in group-A and (3.33%) in group-Bsurgical sites Infection was found in (26.67%) group-A while no infection found in group-B. There was no recurrence seen in the operated cases one 1 patient (3.33%) in group-B found post operative recurrence. Maximum patients hospital stay in group A was 9-12days and in group B was 3-6days.
