Description
Summary:	Purpose: Laparoscopic management analysis of a rare condition having potentially severe evolution, seen in pediatric surgical pathology. Aims: Outlining the optimal surgical approach method of hepatic hydatid double cyst and the laparoscopic method’s limitations. Materials and Methods: The patient is a 6 years old girl that presented with two simultaneous giant hepatic hydatid cysts (segments VII-VIII), having close vicinity to the right branch of portal vein and to hepatic veins; she benefited from a single stage partial pericystectomy Lagrot performed by laparoscopy. Results: The procedure had no intraoperative accidents or incidents. Had good postoperative evolution without immediate or late complications. Trocars positioning had been adapted to the patient’s size and cysts topography. Conclusions: The laparoscopic treatment is feasible and safe, but is not yet the gold standard for a hepatic hydatid disease due to certain inconveniences.
