Thirty eight cases (15.7%) were recurrent hydatidoses. The treatement procedures that applied to the cysts were partial cystectomy-drainage in 204 cases (83.3%), total cystectomy in 23 cases (9.5%), liver resection in 7 cases (2.9). and percutaneous drainage in 8 cases (3.3%). Serious problems due to sudden ruptures. cysto-biliary connections and recurrences are the most challenging complications of the disease.
