Özet

Introduction : The gold standard treatment for hydatid cyst (HC) is surgery. In surgical practice, open procedures still remain as the first option but in this minimally-invasive era, the frequency of laparoscopic procedures is increasing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of 42 patients with HC who underwent surgery with Perforator-Grinder-Aspirator-Apparatus (PGAA) and demonstrate the success and reliability of this technique.
