Abstract
LAPAROSCOPIC PAIR – A NOVEL MINIMALLY INVASIVE APPROACH TO A DEEP SEATED / THICK WALLED HYDATID CYST
*Dr. Vismaya K. B. and Dr. Rihan Rashid
ABSTRACT
Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection caused by the helminth, tape worm Echinococcus granulosis(dog tape worm). The definitive host for this parasite is dog, intermediate host being sheep. Human beings get caught up in the life cycle being the accidental host, accidentally ingesting the infective form of the larva during fondling of the dogs, or coming in contact with sheep as in case of cattle rearers. The human host is the dead end for the life cycle of the helminth with no active multiplication taking place inside. The most common organ affected is the Liver, followed by the lung. Other sites of involvement includes brain, bone, muscle etc. though rare. Of the aforementioned, besides a brain hydatid and a lung hydatid, all others are amenable for the Percutaneous Aspiration Injection Respiration technique(PAIR).
