Gallbladder Hydatid Cyst: A Review on Clinical Features Investigations and Current Management

摘要

Gallbladder hydatid cyst (GBHC) is highly uncommon with an incidence of 0.3–0.4% of all atypically located hydatid cysts. Our personal experience of one case of primary GBHC (PGBHC) managed laparoscopically motivated this systematic review. This study aimed to analyze the demographic characteristics, types [whether primary GBHC (PGBHC) or secondary GBHC (SGBHC)], clinical presentation, laboratory investigations, imaging studies, operative procedure, hospital stay, follow-up and recurrence.
