LIVER CYST
Simple cysts: In general terms, cyst of the liver is known as well encapsulated fluid collections. Congenital cysts are the most simple and their symptoms are the only source through which they get noticed. One of the most common symptoms of liver cyst is dull ache. They can usually be treated without surgery however; surgery becomes the only option in the form of deroofing of the cyst. An uncommon condition associated with polycystic kidney and sometimes pancreatic disease is polycystic liver disease. Laparoscopic puncture from time to time is required in the case of large symptomatic cysts.
HYDATID CYST OF LIVER
Hydatid cyst is a common liver affliction in India. It is a parasitic disease caused by a certain tape worm that is carried by domestic dogs. As compared to simple cysts, these are active cysts that keep on growing with time. Laparoscopic or open methods are the treatment for majority of these cysts. The treatment for these cysts is either a marsupialisation or a cysto-pericystectomy. Spillage of cyst contents can be risky sometimes as it can cause anaphylactic reaction and occasionally dissemination of hydatid disease.
