en Laproscopic Enucleation and Omentopexy of A Primary Hydatid Spleen: a Case Report and Literature Review Basic Science Basic Science Case Report Case Report <sec> <div>Introduction</div> <p>Cystic lesions of spleen are rare. Most of these cysts are parasitic and are caused by Echinococcal infection. Various treatment options for splenic hydatid cyst have evolved over the years.</p> </sec> <sec> <div>Case Presentation</div> <p>We report a case of splenic hydatid cyst in a 55-year-old male, managed laproscopically with enucleation and omentopexy.</p> </sec> <sec> <div>Conclusions</div> <p>In conclusion, we recommend that laparoscopic spleen preserving procedures should be preferred for hydatid spleen when conditions are favorable and enough precautions are taken to prevent spillage. We suggest the use of aspirator for giving the scolicidal agent and favor the albendazole as an adjuvant therapy to prevent its recurrence.</p> </sec> Echinococcal,Hydatid Spleen,Enucleation,Omentopexy 100 110 http://annbsurg.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-31-146&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Faroze Ahmad Khan 1003194753284600260 1003194753284600260 Yes Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, Sheri Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, India Sadaf Ali 1003194753284600261 1003194753284600261 No Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, Sheri Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, India Mohammad Younis 1003194753284600262 1003194753284600262 No Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, Sheri Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, India Khurshied Ahmad Bhat 1003194753284600263 1003194753284600263 No Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, Sheri Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, India Mehmooda Akhtar 1003194753284600264 1003194753284600264 No Department of Surgical Anaesthesilogy, Sheri Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, India
