Laparoscopic Management of Isolated Splenic Hydatid Disease in a Rural Centre: A Case Report

Hydatid disease affects a significant proportion of the world’s population, particularly in endemic areas, with substantial associated morbidity and mortality. However, the incidence of splenic involvement is rare, and isolated splenic disease is even more so; it is infrequently encountered in weste...

description Hydatid disease affects a significant proportion of the world’s population, particularly in endemic areas, with substantial associated morbidity and mortality. However, the incidence of splenic involvement is rare, and isolated splenic disease is even more so; it is infrequently encountered in western countries. As such, their management is often limited to metropolitan tertiary centres with no fixed consensus on the best surgical approach. The author presents a case of the successful management of isolated splenic hydatid disease using a laparoscopic approach in a rural facility, in what is believed to be the first presented Australian case of isolated splenic hydatidosis.
