[Minimally invasive transcutaneous interventions in elimination of suppurative residual cavities in liver after echinococcectomy].

The results of treatment of 34 patients with suppurative residual cavities in the liver (SRCL) after echinococcectomy are analyzed. New method of elimination of SRCL consisted in transcutaneous puncture and drainage of the infected cavity followed by transdrainage laser irradiation of its walls by Nitrogen UV laser and Helium-Neon laser of visible spectrum, was applied in 31 patients. Transdrainage irradiation was carried out at the background of daily procedures of transcutaneous laser radiation of the liver (Arsenid-Gallium infrared laser). Minimal traumatism of transcutaneous interventions and pronounced antibacterial, antiinflammatory and stimulating influence of low-energy lasers made it possible to improve significantly the results of treatment of SRCL patients.
