Miniinvasive approach to the treatment of liver cysts

Acta Univ Palacki Olomuc Fac Med. 1999:142:123-6.

Abstract

During the period from 1995 to 1997 we followed and treated six patients for liver cysts. Diagnostics was based not only on clinical examination but also on ultrasonography and computational tomography (CT). Surgery is applied in solving larger cysts damaging liver parenchyma and causing pressure symptomatology. Nowadays most cysts can be solved by means of laparoscopy.
