Effect of cyst volume and other risk factors on biliary leak following liver hydatid cyst surgery

Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of prognostic factors indicating the presence of cystobiliary communication in thepreoperative period and volume values obtained using the magnetic resonance imaging technique on the rate of biliary leak.Material and Methods: Twenty-six patients surgically treated for hydatid disease were included in the study. Age, sex, number,localization, volume and size of cysts, and liver function test results were statistically compared between the patients with andwithout biliary leak.Results: There were no significant differences between the groups with respect to age, gender, and number, volume and localizationof cysts (p>0.05). However, a significant difference was found concerning the increase in liver function test results and cystobiliaryrelationship (p
