Laproscopic Enucleation and Omentopexy of A Primary Hydatid Spleen: a Case Report and Literature Review

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.. We report a case of splenic hydatid cyst in a 55-year-old male, managed laproscopically with enucleation and omentopexy.. 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..
