The larger the canine cysts, the more likely they are to be associated with the biliary tract after

If they are not treated with drainage, they are life-threatening, and their surgery is also very risky.

A swelling occurred in the middle of the chest area of ​​Seher Erkentoka, who lives in Isparta, for 3 months and started to grow gradually. In the examinations made, it was determined that Seher Erkentoka had 3 canine cysts, the largest of which was 15 cm, covering 70 percent of her liver. It has been determined that the cysts are the types that pass through the intestinal tract of dogs to humans, settle in the liver and grow continuously, and are at risk of explosion after exceeding 10 centimeters. For the procedure that couldn't be done in Isparta, the family asked Assoc. Dr. He applied to R. Aykut Aktaş. Seher Erkentoka, who got rid of the masses with the interventional procedure performed while preserving the liver, regained her health and her schoolmates.

Assoc. Dr. In his statement, R. Aykut Aktaş said that they determined that he had 3 canine cysts, the largest of which was 15 cm, covering 70 percent of his liver. Noting that more than half of the liver would have to be removed if open surgery was performed, Assoc. Dr. Aktaş said, "In addition, since the cysts are formed by microscopic parasites, there would be a risk of recurrence in the future in case of any drip on the internal organs during the surgery."

We Applied Non-Surgical Cyst Treatment to Our Patient

Emphasizing that the cysts were very large when the patient reached him, Assoc. Dr. R. Aykut Aktaş said, “If our patient had received a sudden blow to his abdomen before treatment, the cysts would have exploded, resulting in death. As soon as we arrived, we made the diagnosis and treatment with the interventional method. Under the guidance of ultrasound and angiography, we injected a liquid that penetrates the cyst with a needle and kills these parasites inside. Again, we took these parasites out with the needle. Then, by placing a catheter, we also destroyed the membrane where the parasites settled and removed them from the body. We inserted 3 catheters in our patient in the same session. We performed the procedure, which took 1.5 hours, with sedation. In the second month control, we saw that almost all of the parasites disappeared and the cysts disappeared. By protecting our patient's liver, we did not prevent his healthy growth," he said.
