Summary

This retrospective cohort study examines the effectiveness of minimally invasive spleen-preserving surgeries compared to total splenectomy for treating primary splenic hydatidosis in Jordan. Covering 18 patients from January 2015 to June 2021, the research highlights similar recurrence rates between both surgical approaches, emphasizing the benefits of spleen preservation in maintaining immune function and reducing septic risks, particularly in pediatric patients.

Detailed description

The study delves into a detailed analysis of 18 cases of primary splenic hydatid cysts treated through spleen-preserving surgeries-laparoscopic partial splenectomy, cystectomy, and cyst deroofing-augmented by albendazole therapy. It presents a comprehensive comparison based on patient demographics, symptoms, surgical details, and outcomes, including complications and recurrence rates. Findings reveal no significant statistical difference in recurrence rates between spleen-preserving methods and total splenectomy, suggesting the viability of less invasive approaches for managing this condition effectively while preserving spleen functionality and minimizing post-operative complications. The study underlines the need for individualized treatment plans and further research with larger cohorts.
