| Core Tip |
Hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE) management is less challenged by a lack of therapeutic options than by rational, cyst-specific decision-making. Percutaneous interventions are safe and effective for cysts classified by World Health Organization (WHO) as CE1 and CE3a, offering advantages in efficiency; while surgery remains essential for large cysts and those with complex biliary involvement or high-risk anatomy. Large real-world data further identify cyst volume as a major determinant of biliary complications, independent of treatment modality. Rather than competing strategies, percutaneous and surgical approaches should be integrated into dynamic, risk-adapted clinical pathways guided by cyst biology, anatomy, and procedural burden. |
