Core Tip This study explored machine-learning applications in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis surgical decision-making. Through feature selection methods and model comparisons, we identified key factors such as vascular invasion type influencing surgical choices. The XGBoost model showed good performance and clinical benefit. Preoperative assessment combined with model assistance can enhance personalized surgical planning and improve patient outcomes, offering valuable evidence for clinical practice.
