Abstract

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation by a tapeworm of the genus Echinococcus which represent significant healthcare problem in Montenegro as in many other regions of the earth. The incidence in Montenegro is 4.57/100.000. Communications with bile ducts is one of the most frequent complications of the hydatid disease. Wide communications can be followed with cholangitis and obstructive jaundice. We presented 51 years old patient with obstructive jaundice and hydatid cyst of the liver. Total pericystectomy is golden standard of the surgical treatment, which is, unfortunately possible only in 6-10% of the cases. The usage of the intraoperative ultrasound is standard procedure.
