Abstract
Postoperative surgical site infection, bile fistula, recurrence rate and overall morbidity were seen less frequently in patients who underwent omentoplasty in our series. Mean duration of hospital stay was significantly shorter in patients who underwent omentoplasty operations. Because omentum has a high absorptive capacity and the capability to fill the residual cavity, we recommend omentoplasty to manage patients with hydatid cyst of the liver, whether complicated or uncomplicated.
