Abstract

Human disease is a worldwide neglected zoonotic larval infection typically caused by cestodes of the genus. It affects 1 million people worldwide, predominantly reported in Central Asia, the Middle East, and South America. In this paper, we report a patient who underwent a successful laparoscopic partial pericystectomy and omentoplasty with simultaneous cholecystectomy in the treatment of cystic echinococcosis and cholelithiasis, respectively. There are many challenges to treating complicated hepatic hydatid cysts. It is crucial for surgeons to have knowledge of the range of possibilities of each surgical modality and its expanding advancements that can reduce complication risks and increase a patient’s quality of life. The art of sharing techniques and management possibilities between professionals in this field provides a bridge in further crafting the best-tailored treatment plan for patients. This report illustrates the successful usage of laparoscopy in the management of a section IV hydatid cyst with simultaneous cholecystectomy. This case aims to expand the knowledge and prospects of laparoscopic surgery in cystic echinococcosis.
