  • Title: Laparoscopic unroofing of multiple benign liver cysts with intraperitoneal drainage: a case report.
    Author: Schwartz DS, Gwertzman G, Kaleya RN, Gliedman ML.
    Journal: J Laparoendosc Surg; 1994 Apr; 4(2):157-60. PubMed ID: 8043926.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of symptomatic congenital hepatic cysts is surgical. Aspiration does not provide definitive therapy and carries a high recurrence rate. Surgical exploration and drainage intraperitoneally, externally, and internally to a segment of bowel have been described. With the recent explosion in the applications of laparoscopic guided surgery, we report a simple method for the excision of congenital solid hepatic cyst with subsequent intraperitoneal drainage and follow-up.
