Objective To investigate strategies and efficacy of surgical treatment of advanced hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. Methods Thirty-six patients with advanced hepatic alveolar echinococcosis who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from August 2014 to March 2016 were selected, who were divided into three groups:radical hepatectomy group (15 cases), quasi-radical hepatectomy group (17 cases), and palliative surgery group (4 cases). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and metastasis were analyzed among these three groups. Results The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and rate of postoperative complications had no significant differences between the radical hepatectomy group and the quasi-radical hepatectomy group. No patient had postoperative recurrence in the radical hepatectomy group. The hepatic portal residual lesion was enlarged for 1 case and the intrahepatic and extrahepatic lesions were stable for the other patients in the quasi-radical hepatectomy group. In the palliative surgery group,the retroperitoneal lesions enlargement was seen in 2 cases and the lesions around the abcess grew progressively in 1 case. Conclusion Individualized treatment accompanied with multiple-disciplinary treatment and damage-control surgery concept could benefit optimally to patients with advanced hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.
