Laparoscopic resection of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: A single-center experience
Fig 2
Laparoscopic resection of AE-lesions in two patients: In the first patient, CT-scan shows a small lesion in central liver segment 4a/b (A). Prior to resection an intraoperative sonography was made and the lesion was marked (B). The dissection of liver parenchyma was performed by an ultrasonic dissection device (C). A post-resectional sonography showed free resection margins (D). The CT-scan of a second patient shows a calcified lesion in liver segment 4b (E). This lesion could be macroscopically seen in the diagnostic laparoscopy (F). Dissection of liver parenchyma was done by an ultrasonic dissection device (G) and by ultrasonic surgical aspirator system (H).
