Comparative Study of Laparoscopic versus Open Surgery in Cases Hydatid Cysts of Liver
Dr. Devendra Kumar, Dr. Kandarp Narayan Mishra, Dr. Archana Sharma
Abstract: Hydatid disease, a zoonotic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus, remains a global health concern, particularly in endemic regions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery compared to traditional open surgery in the management of liver hydatid cysts, analyzing outcomes related to postoperative recovery, complications, and overall cost-effectiveness. It is evident that laparoscopic intervention offers several advantages, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and superior cosmetic results. However, it requires meticulous surgical expertise to manage potential intraoperative bleeding and prolonged operative times. In my view, while open surgery remains a viable option, its association with higher morbidity, longer hospital stays, and increased financial burden makes laparoscopy the preferable choice in suitable cases. The findings suggest that minimally invasive techniques could become the standard approach, provided there is adequate surgical proficiency and preoperative planning. This research reinforces the growing shift toward laparoscopic management, highlighting its role in reducing patient discomfort while maintaining surgical efficacy.
