Résumé
Compared to open resection for hepatic hydatid cysts, a laparoscopic approach may combine the benefit of reduced morbidity with complete cyst removal. Nonetheless, intraoperative cyst rupture during a laparoscopic approach due to reduced tactile feedback is a valid concern. A 37-year-old male from Uruguay presents with worsening abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. A 4-phase liver CT shows a large complex liver cyst (8.8 × 8.2 × 11.3 cm), encompassing the left hepatic lobe while abutting right hepatic vein (RHV), anterior fissure vein (AFV) and inferior vena cava (IVC). Further, the cyst causes mass effect on the hepatic vein vasculature. CT appearance is consistent with a large hydatid cyst with distorted hepatic anatomy resulting in compensatory hypertrophy of segments II, VI and VII. Appropriate institutional review board (IRB) and inform consent was obtained. Following neoadjuvant albendazole for 4 weeks to minimize any effects in case of inadvertent cyst spillage, the patient tested negative for echinococcal antibody. For surgical planning, the patient's anatomy was modeled to optimize the understanding of the complex spatial relationship between cyst, portal pedicle and hepatic veins. Further, port sites were preoperatively modelled to optimize port placement in the context of the altered anatomy from compensatory hepatic hypertrophy. During surgery, with the patient in a modified French position, the liver was completely mobilized. Then, a parenchymal transection plane was developed guided by RHV, AFV and IVC, while biliary radicals entering directly into the cyst were controlled individually. The complex transection plane resulted in preservation of the unaffected liver segments I, II, VI and VII. The multimodal approach demonstrated here included pretreatment with albendazole followed by safe laparoscopic pericystectomy. In the preoperative setting, albendazole can reduce the risk of recurrence if spillage occurs during surgery. In inoperable patients, it has been previously shown to be an effective monotherapy for small (< 5 cm) CE1 and CE3a cysts.

BACKGROUND
Compared to open resection for hepatic hydatid cysts, a laparoscopic approach may combine the benefit of reduced morbidity with complete cyst removal. Nonetheless, intraoperative cyst rupture during a laparoscopic approach due to reduced tactile feedback is a valid concern.
PATIENT
A 37-year-old male from Uruguay presents with worsening abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. A 4-phase liver CT shows a large complex liver cyst (8.8 × 8.2 × 11.3 cm), encompassing the left hepatic lobe while abutting right hepatic vein (RHV), anterior fissure vein (AFV) and inferior vena cava (IVC). Further, the cyst causes mass effect on the hepatic vein vasculature. CT appearance is consistent with a large hydatid cyst with distorted hepatic anatomy resulting in compensatory hypertrophy of segments II, VI and VII. Appropriate institutional review board (IRB) and inform consent was obtained.
TECHNIQUE
Following neoadjuvant albendazole for 4 weeks to minimize any effects in case of inadvertent cyst spillage, the patient tested negative for echinococcal antibody. For surgical planning, the patient's anatomy was modeled to optimize the understanding of the complex spatial relationship between cyst, portal pedicle and hepatic veins. Further, port sites were preoperatively modelled to optimize port placement in the context of the altered anatomy from compensatory hepatic hypertrophy. During surgery, with the patient in a modified French position, the liver was completely mobilized. Then, a parenchymal transection plane was developed guided by RHV, AFV and IVC, while biliary radicals entering directly into the cyst were controlled individually. The complex transection plane resulted in preservation of the unaffected liver segments I, II, VI and VII.
CONCLUSION
The multimodal approach demonstrated here included pretreatment with albendazole followed by safe laparoscopic pericystectomy. In the preoperative setting, albendazole can reduce the risk of recurrence if spillage occurs during surgery. In inoperable patients, it has been previously shown to be an effective monotherapy for small (< 5 cm) CE1 and CE3a cysts.
