Abstract

The traditional method of treating hydatid disease by open surgery has, in recent years, been challenged and minimally invasive approaches, including percutaneous and laparoscopic management, have been gaining wide acceptance. We present a 13-year-old boy with the diagnosis of isolated right renal hydatid disease, and a total pericystectomy was performed laparoscopically. Total operative time was 4.5 h and estimated blood loss was 150 ml. The only complication was an early urinary leak which was successfully treated with internal stenting. We believe further experience will reduce the operative time and complications.
