Abstract

Hydatid cyst, caused by Echinoc occusgr anulosus of larval stages, is a zoonotic parasitic disease through public health importance. In Iraq, The disease is endemic. A study directed a in AL-Hussein Teaching Hospital- AL- Nassiryiacity –ThiQar governorate.-Iraq to find the rate of liver surgical procedures that accomplished for hydatid cyst removal alsoto explore the population demography ,who experiencing hospital hepatic hydatid cyst surgery. A study was lead of records of 482 patients who submit to liver surgery from April 2015 to March 2020 246 male patients and 236 females. We originate, 223 (46.2%) diagnoses of hydatid cyst were proved. 84 cases (37.6%) have hydatid cyst less than 5 cm in size, Liver hydatid infection confirmed a significant age-related difference (p < 0.05). Cysts were found in 132males from 246 (53.6%) and 91 from 236 females (38.5%). There was a important relationship between sex and infection with the proportion of hydatid cysts in males. In the five investigated years, about46.2% of liver surgeries conducted at AL-Hussein Teaching Hospital were correlated to liver in hydatidosis.11 patients 4.9% experiencing relapse rate within 5 years , where they were 2.3% male (5 patients only) while in female 2.6%( 6 patients) .Increasing public consciousness of principles of evading infection could decrease the risk of more than one four of surgeries for liver and also minimize costs related with the hydatid cysts treatment. In Alchebayesh, there were a high incidence of infection 34.9% and least in shatra 4.9%. 38 cases (45.2%) from 84 cases with hydatid cyst less than 5 cm in size were calcified by treatments of albendazole treatments as 15 mg per kg per day in 2 divided dosage.
