Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Hydatid disease in human is mainly caused by infection with the larval stage of the dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. It is an important pathogenic, zoonotic and parasitic infection (acquired from animals) of humans, following ingestion of tapeworm eggs excreted in the feces of infected dogs. Location at unusual sites in the body had a great diagnostic challenge. The modern treatment of hydatid cyst of the liver varies from surgical intervention to percutaneous drainage or medical therapy. Surgery is still the treatment of choice for liver hydatid cyst and operation can be performed by the conventional or laparoscopic approach.
Case Report: We are reporting a case of occurrence of hydatid disease at port sites of abdominal wall in 42-year-old female patient operated previously for laparoscopic live hydatid cystostomy. Conclusion: Occurrence of port site hydatid cyst is rare complication after laparoscopic hydatid cystostomy, but can occur due to lodgment of scolices at port site during laparoscopy. | |
