Abstract
Hydatid liver disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is a serious problem in regions where the parasite is endemic. The treatment of choice is surgery, however, it is associated with recurrence rates of up to 30%. Medical treatment with benzimidazole derivatives has limited success. The treatment modalities for hydatid liver disease are reviewed in detail and are evaluated in terms of radical treatment.Entities:
