Hydatid cyst removal
What is a Hydatid Cyst?
A hydatid cyst is a fluid-filled sac caused by a parasitic infection. These cysts typically form in the liver or lungs, but can also appear in other organs like the spleen, kidneys, or brain.
Hydatid cysts grow slowly and may not cause symptoms until they become large or rupture. Untreated, they can lead to serious complications.
When is Surgery Needed?
Surgical removal is the preferred treatment in cases where the cyst:
- Is large or growing
- Causes symptoms (pain, bloating, jaundice, breathing difficulty)
- Is at risk of rupture
- Does not respond to medications
Key Features:
Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Small incisions, less pain
- Faster healing and less scarring
- Shorter hospital stay (1–2 days)
- Safe and precise removal
How Long Will I Need to Stay in the Hospital and What Is the Recovery Time?
The procedure typically lasts between 90 to 150 minutes. However, both the surgery duration and hospital stay may vary depending on the nature of the condition and the patient’s post-operative recovery.
What Are the Precautions to Be Taken?
Patients are advised to avoid intense physical activity and contact sports for at least 2 to 3 weeks following the procedure to ensure proper healing.
Can hydatid disease spread to other organs?
Yes. If untreated or if a cyst ruptures, it can spread internally. That’s why early diagnosis and complete treatment are important.
Is hydatid disease contagious?
No, it does not spread from person to person. It’s acquired through ingestion of parasite eggs from contaminated food, water, or contact with infected animals (especially dogs)
