Removal of large hydatid cysts with balloon-assisted modification of Dowling’s method: technical report

BACKGROUND: Delivery of hydatid cysts, especially large ones, without rupture is very important and there is still no 100 % successful method. METHODS: After the hydatid cyst was reached, starting near the surface working around the cyst toward the base, a Foley probe was advanced and, in the region...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Delivery of hydatid cysts, especially large ones, without rupture is very important and there is still no 100 % successful method. METHODS: After the hydatid cyst was reached, starting near the surface working around the cyst toward the base, a Foley probe was advanced and, in the region of desired dissection, the balloon of the Foley probe was inflated, and adhesion bands were freed to allow dissection. CONCLUSIONS: We believe our balloon-aided dissection technique is a method that increases the chances of delivering hydatid cysts, with no calcification and secondary infection, without rupture.
