Radical vs conservative surgery for hydatid liver cysts: Experience from single center

Figure 1 Multi-detector computed tomography (CT) images in different planes following contrast injection. A: Sagittal plane multi-detector CT images showed cystic lesions in segments 6 and 7 of the right liver lobe; B: A cystic lesion with a calcified wall located in the subcapsular region in the right lobe posterior segment was seen in contrast-enhanced axial plane CT sections; C: Contrast-enhanced axial plane CT images showed widespread cysts with separate membranes in an enlarged liver.

Figure 2 Contrast-enhanced axial CT and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) images of three different patients. A: A cystic lesion located in segment 3 of the left lobe was seen in contrast-enhanced axial plane CT images; B: A cystic lesion in the right lobe posterior superior and left lobe medial segment was seen in oral and intravenous contrast-enhanced axial plane CT images; C: Leakage of contrast material into the cyst cavity was observed after placing a cannula and injecting radiopaque material into the biliary tract; D: The same patient after performing a sphincterotomy and inserting a 7 Fr biliary stent.
