  • Title: Omentoplasty versus introflexion for hydatid liver cysts.
    Author: Mentes A, Yüzer Y, Ozbal O, Coker A, Ilter T, Musoğlu A.
    Journal: J R Coll Surg Edinb; 1993 Apr; 38(2):82-5. PubMed ID: 8478839.
    Abstract:
    Forty-three patients with unilocular hydatid cyst of the liver were divided into three groups. Omentoplasty (n = 15) was performed in group 1, introflexion (n = 18) in group 2 and a combination of both (n = 10) in group 3. Patients with omentoplasty developed fewer complications and had a significantly shorter hospitalization than those with introflexion. The results indicate that omentoplasty is superior both to introflexion and to introflexion plus omentoplasty for the management of hydatid liver cysts.
