Abstract
A 15 x 11 x 8-cm hydatid cyst in the right kidney of a 43-year-old man was treated using a laparoscopic approach. There was no preoperative or postoperative complications, and no recurrence was detected in 38 months of follow-up. This appears to be the first case of a renal hydatid cyst treated by a transperitoneal laparoscopic approach.
