Laparoscopic treatment for simple hepatic cyst
Liver cysts are often asymptomatic. Symptomatic liver cysts are uncommon and can be managed by percutaneous aspiration, laparoscopic/open marsupialization, or resection. The majority of benign, non-parasitic liver cysts are asymptomatic. Surgical treatment is reserved for symptomatic patients and frequently involves partial excision or marsupialization via a laparotomy. Surgery is occasionally offered for asymptomatic large cysts, where complications of cyst rupture, intra-cystic bleeding and infection are more common. The authors describe three cases of symptomatic liver cysts that were effectively marsupialized laparoscopically with good results.
