Background. An increase in the incidence of hepatic echinococcosis is noted annually, surgery remaining its main treatment option. Objective. To analyze the treatment structure and evaluate the treatment outcomes of the patients operated for hepatic echinococcosis in the Surgical department №2 of SAHI "KCEH named after M.A. Podgorbunsky" over the period of 2016 - 2020. Material and methods. The analyzed group included treatment outcomes of 58 patients (22 men (38%), 36 women (62%)), who underwent 76 surgical interventions for liver echinococcosis in the Surgical department №2 on the basis of SAHI "KCEH named after M.A. Podgorbunsky". The difference between the number of operations performed and that of actual patients is explained by the use of staged surgery in a number of cases. Results. The majority of the 76 operations performed over the period of 2016 - 2020 were open resections - 50 (65.8%) cases. Of these, extensive anatomic segmental hepatic resections were performed in 22 cases (44%). In 14 (24%) of all patients staged surgery was used, making it possible to exclude a number of patients from the category of "non-resectable" and to perform surgery with good outcomes. A fatal outcome was noted in one case. Conclusions. The use of various surgical techniques including staged minimally invasive and laparoscopic ones in a specialized surgical department allows achieving good treatment outcomes.
