Core Tip	Laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of liver hydatid disease has grown significantly in the last decade, due to increased accessibility and better training. Although, some limits were reported on previously regarding the cyst size, location, and presence of complications such as cystobiliary fistulas. This article discusses our experience over 12 years in the surgical treatment of hydatid liver disease, highlighting key aspects of surgical timing as well as differences between the open approach and laparoscopic approach in terms of case selection, comorbidities, and postoperative management.
