The aim of this paper is to determine the possibilities of modern radiofrequency (RF) technology and the usefulness of abdominal and thoracic parenchymatous organs in surgery. Investigation was made on 17 patients with 125 RF energy realized cycles (an average of 7.35 per one pt.) and the average time heating coagulative necrosis of 42.6 minutes (maximum to 80 minutes). There was one complicati...

BACKGROUND Albendazole has been used in various ways in the treatment of cystic echinococcosis (CE). METHODS We reviewed the available evidence regarding the role of albendazole for the treatment of patients with CE. The available comparative clinical trials (randomized or not) that examined the use of albendazole in CE were identified from the PubMed and the ISI Web of Science databases. Rel...

AIM To compare the efficacy and safety of radical and conservative surgical interventions for liver hydatid disease. METHODS The study comprised 59 patients in two groups who had undergone radical and conservative surgical procedures for liver hydatid disease in our department between 2004 and 2009. Preoperative diagnostic tools, medical treatments, demographic and clinical characteristics, p...

Hydatid disease (HD) is caused by Echinococcus granulosus and is endemic in many parts of the world. This parasitic tapeworm can produce cysts in almost every organ of the body, with the liver and lung being the most frequently targeted organs. Peritoneum, omentum, and mesentery are among these unusual locations, which can cause diagnostic challenge and treatment delay. This review provides inf...

Background: Hydatidosis is a disease, caused by the larval phase of Echinococcus granulosus. It considered serious condition, as cyst rupture can release protoscolices into host body, leading to formation secondary cysts. Surgery main approach for treatment this disease. Some natural compounds, which are safe options with few side effects, have been assessed their scolicidal activities. Objecti...

Hydatid disease is an economic and public health concern in many countries. Currently, surgery is the main treatment option for hydatid disease. In the surgical treatment of hydatidosis, the use of scolicidal agents is very important due to inactivating live protoscoleces and preventing the recurrence of infection. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate newscolicidal agents and novel medicat...
