Pericystectomy for the treatment of hepatic hydatid cysts.

Management of the pericystic membrane is still a major problem in the treatment of hepatic hydatid disease. In a series of 23 patients with 45 cysts, complicated forms constituted 51% of all cysts. Radical removal, mainly by pericystectomy, was achieved in two thirds of cysts and in 50% of cases. Pericystectomy, if carried out in the correct plane of cleavage, is a safe procedure that ensures complete and rapid cure in appropriately selected cases.

A rare extrahepatic biliary anomaly.

In a case operated on for calculous jaundice the right and left hepatic ducts drained directly into the gallbladder and the cystic duct was the only route by which hepatic bile reached the duodenum. Exploration of the inside of the gallbladder was a crucial step for the discovery of the anomaly. Continuity of bile drainage was secured by the preservation of a portion of the gallbladder which contained hepatic and cystic ducts.

Common bile duct exploration in a Libyan hospital. Utilization of choledochoscopy in an effort to improve results.

Over a three-year period, 849 patients had a cholecystectomy for gallstones, at the Central Hospital, Tripoli, Libya. In 133 patients the common bile duct was explored. Under the particular circumstances in which the operation is performed, choledochoscopy was shown to have important advantages to the patient in both locating common duct stones and in ensuring that none is left behind.
