Management Of Hydatid Cyst
Operative Indications
Cystic echinococcosis, while uncommon in the United States, is endemic in certain parts of the world such as the Middle East and Africa. The infection is often indolent, and the liver and lungs are the most frequently involved organs. Current classification based on ultrasonography reflects the functional state of the parasite. Active cysts demonstrate multiple sep­tations, hydatid sand, and daughter cysts (1); whereas inactive cysts typically reveal heterogeneous hypo- or hypere­chogenic degenerative contents and cyst wall calcifications. The diagnosis is suspected based on clinical signs and symp-

toms and epidemiological data. In the majority of cases definitive diagnosis can be established using a combination of imag­ing techniques and either serological or immunoassay techniques.
Although certain types of hepatic hydatid cysts are successfully treated by medical therapy or by percutaneous aspira­tion and injection, surgery remains the treatment of choice in most cases. Indications for surgery are large cysts with multi­ple daughter cysts, a superficial cyst with a high risk for rupture, infected cysts, cysts communicating with the biliary tree, or symptomatic cysts. Small asymptomatic cysts, multiple small cysts, or those which are dead or calcified do not require surgical intervention in most cases. Albendazole is a broad-spectrum antihelmintic drug that is active against intestinal nema­todes. When planning surgical therapy in an active cyst, preoperative administration of albendazole should be considered in order to reduce parasite viability. It should be administered at 10 to 15 mg/kg/d postprandially in two divided doses, 1 month, and then 4 days before surgery.
Surgical therapy is most commonly performed using an open surgical technique. Laparoscopic treatment is being report­ed with increasing frequency in recent years and can be considered in selected cases. A major disadvantage of laparoscopy, however, is the lack of precautionary measures to prevent spillage under the high intra-abdominal pressures caused by pneu­moperitoneum. Liver resection can also be considered for hydatid disease, but this procedure is associated with higher mor­bidity and should be reserved for cases of recurrence or when the cyst has destroyed, or is compressing, an entire hemiliv­er or segment. The most common surgical procedure for hydatid liver disease is the pericystectomy, with removal of the cyst contents, germinal layer, and pericyst wall.
Surgical Technique
When performing a pericystectomy, a right subcostal incision is typically employed. As with other hepatic surgical procedures, it is important to fully assess the extent of disease outside of and within the liver before determining the type of procedure needed. Intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) may be useful in order to determine the relationship of the cyst to vascular and biliary structures within the liver. In addition, IOUS can help determine the best approach and the likelihood of cyst viability.

Hepatic Hemangioma Enucleation
Operative Indications
Cavernous hemangiomas are the most common primary tumor of the liver, ranging between a 1 and 8% prevalence in the general population. They are thought to be vascular malformations that enlarge by means of ectasia rather than neoplastic growth. They can be single or multiple and lesions of greater than 4 cm in size are referred to as giant hemangiomas (1). The increasing use of imaging studies are identifying these hepatic tumors in higher numbers. Most of these lesions are asymp­tomatic and are managed conservatively. Large hemangiomas can be symptomatic, typically associated with abdominal pain. Other symptoms include fullness, early satiety, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, with thrombocy­topenia secondary to platelet trapping within the hemangioma, also may occur. While risk of bleeding and rupture is rare, debilitating discomfort can impact on patient quality-of-life. In such cases, surgical intervention should be considered.

Operative Technique
The exposure of the liver begins with an incision which allows adequate visualiza­tion and manipulation of the liver and surrounding structures. The type of incision is not different than when performing most liver resections, most commonly a right sub­costal incision. Intraoperative ultrasonography is performed in order to identify the relationship of the tumor to adjacent vascular pedicles and to identify other lesions when present. The liver is mobilized as with other liver resections, typically requir­ing full mobilization of the ipsilateral liver.
utilizes an “enucleation” technique. With this method, the tumor is dissected free
Unlike liver resections for other indications, resection of a hepatic hemangioma
along a boundary just outside the tumor edge. Here, the surrounding liver has been compressed, creating a form of pseudocapsule which facilitates dissection. Moreover, these benign tumors, while highly vascular, do not have a main blood supply but are fed by small branches from the liver parenchyma.
Following mobilization, the resection begins by developing a peritumoral plane at the liver capsule. Typically, these tumors are only partially intraparenchymal and can be visualized from the surface. We find in cases when resecting giant hemangiomas, early and frequent use of total partial inflow occlusion (Pringle maneuver) is useful and can significantly reduce blood loss dur­ing resection. Once the plane has been developed, careful blunt and sharp dissection using elec­trocautery or a dissector is accomplished along the outer border of the tumor. Branches from the liver to the tumor are controlled using cautery, staplers, or metallic clips (2). As the dissection proceeds,
2
the tumor often becomes decompressed of blood, fur­ther facilitating removal.
Minor oozing of the surface is controlled using an argon beam coagulating device or other thermal cautery devices. Prior to this step, careful inspection, identification, and control of bile leaks should be done. Following surface cauterization, fibrin sealant can be applied to the resection surface in order to further aid in hemostasis and perhaps further reduce the risk of postoperative bile leak. The falciform ligament is then reattached and omen­tum placed over the raw resection surface if necessary. Placement of abdominal drains is seldom required.

OTHER HEPATIC PROCEDURES: Liver Tumor Ablation
Operative Indications
Although surgical resection remains the principle curative therapy for patients with primary or secondary liver cancer, many patients are not candidates for resection. Moreover, some patients recur within the liver following a previous resection, and few are candidates for re-resection. For these reasons, increasing interest has been focused on ablative approaches for the treatment of liver tumors. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is currently the most common method. RFA involves placement of thin, partially insulated electrodes (14 to 21 gauge) into a tumor. The electrodes and grounding pads are connected to a radiofrequency generator, and during treatment, a 500-kilohertz current travels from the uninsulated portion of the active electrode towards the grounding pads. This current produces ion agitation in the tissue surrounding the electrode, which is converted by friction into heat and induces cellular death via coagulation necrosis. A variety of device designs are available, including multi-tine electrodes, parallel probes, and saline-infused or cooled tips. Probe placement can be done using percutaneous, laparoscopic, or open surgical techniques. Newer methods of interstitial thermal ablation using microwave technology have also been introduced. We outline here open and laparoscopic RFA, but all methods rely on the same principles of image-guided intratumoral probe placement and thermal tumor destruction.
Tumor size as well as location can preclude effective tumor ablation with curative intent. Tumor sizes larger than 4 to
5 cm are associated with an increased incidence of local recurrence. The location of a tumor near the main portal pedicles is considered a relative contraindication to ablation. In addition to the inability to achieve an effective ablation due to the high blood flow, ablation near the porta hepatis can result in liver failure due to injury and stricture of a central bile duct.

Operative Technique
Open Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation can be done during an open laparotomy. This is usually done in cases where RFA is combined with hepatic resection, when many tumors need to be treated, or when a tumor is in a location that is not amenable to the other approaches. When performing RFA during open laparotomy, careful exploration of the abdominal cavity is first performed to exclude the presence of extrahepatic malignancy, including assessment of peritoneal surfaces and periportal nodal regions. The liver is then carefully inspected by both palpation and intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS). In cases in which a previous biopsy has not been obtained, core biopsy under IOUS guidance should be considered.
Careful planning of the zone of ablation is necessary to achieve complete necrosis of the target lesion. In some cases,
when using an expandable multi-electrode needle of sufficient size, complete ablation can be achieved with a single appli­cation, deploying the electrode from the center of the tumor. For example, a 3-cm spherical tumor and 1-cm margin can be treated with the use of a device deployed to produce a 5-cm diameter volume of necrosis.
Once the target tumor is identified with the IOUS transducer, the RFA electrode needle is inserted under ultrasono-
graphic guidance. Optimally, the electrode is advanced in a track parallel and within the plane of the transducer so the entire path of the needle can be visualized. When using a multi-electrode needle, the array is deployed within the tumor, and position is confirmed ultrasonographically in two views (1a). Alternative probe designs include a single probe or mul­tiple parallel needles (1b and 1c). With some RFA devices, central ablation can first be performed by partially deploy­ing the array and sequentially advancing the electrodes to the desired volume.
Monitoring during thermal ablation can be performed using a variety of methods. Some RFA devices have the capac-
ity to measure tissue temperatures with thermistors located within the device. Alternatively, tissue impedance and current can be monitored during treatment. With some devices, the power output is adjusted automatically to control impedance and maintain tissue temperature between 70˚C and 105˚C. The ablation zone is visualized by IOUS during treatment. Typically, local miniscule gas bubble formation results in hyperechogenicity within the treated tissue.
