World J Gastrointest Surg 2025; In press Core Tip: This study presents the largest cohort of standardized open total pericystectomies for cystic echinococcosis, demonstrating its effectiveness in achieving complete cyst removal while preserving liver tissue. Total pericystectomy has evolved as a superior surgical approach, showing significantly lower recurrence rates compared to conservative techniques. Despite concerns about bile leakage and cholestasis, our cohort experienced a low incidence of postoperative bile leakage. With a median 8-year follow-up, the recurrence rate was 0%, highlighting the procedure’s efficacy even in multiple cyst cases. These findings support total pericystectomy as a reliable and durable treatment option for hepatic cystic echinococcosis. |
