[Results of conservative surgery of the bulging dome in hydatid cyst of the liver (apropos of 183 cases)].

The authors report the short interval results of a series of 183 patients operated on for hydatic cyst of the liver; all had undergone "the conservative operation" of resection of the bulging dome. Mortality and morbidity rates are similar to those of recently published studies on radical treatment. The benignity and the results explain the value of this routine method of treatment of hydatic cyst of the liver.
