Objective: This study aimed to discuss the place of surgical technique in patients who were operated for retroperitoneal hydatid cyst at our clinic, in the light of current literature. Methods: Data from seven patients who were operated for retroperitoneal hydatid cyst between May 2012 and May 2019 were retrospectively collected and evaluated. Results: Two patients were operated for isolated retroperitoneal hydatid cyst, one for liver hydatid cyst accompanying renal hydatid cyst and four patients were operated only for renal hydatid cyst. Recurrence was not observed in the follow-up. Conclusion: In our study, emphasis was laid on the fact that cysts can be treated successfully by using total, subtotal and partial cystectomy methods based on the organ and tissue neighbourhood.
