ABSTRACT
Background. One of the evolutionary complications of hepatic echinococcosis (HE) is cholangiohydatidosis, a rare cause of obstructive
jaundice and cholangitis. The aim of this study was to describe the results of surgical treatment on a group of patients with
cholangiohydatidosis and secondary cholangitis in terms of post-operative morbidity (POM).
Material and method. Case series
of patients operated on for cholangiohydatidosis and cholangitis in the Department at Surgery of the Universidad de La Frontera and
the Clínica Mayor in Temuco, Chile between 2004 and 2014. The minimum follow-up time was six months. The principal outcome
variable was the development of POM. Other variables of interest were age, sex, cyst diameter, hematocrit, leukocytes, total bilirubin,
alkaline phosphatase and transaminases, type of surgery, existence of concomitant evolutionary complications in the cyst,
length of hospital stay, need for surgical re-intervention and mortality. Descriptive statistics were calculated.
Results. A total of 20
patients were studied characterized by a median age of 53 years, 50.0% female and 20.0% having two or more cysts with a mean
diameter of 13.3 ± 6.3 cm. A median hospital stay of six days and follow-up of 34 months was recorded. POM was 30.0%, re-intervention
rate was 10.0% and mortality rate was 5.0%.
Conclusion. Cholangiohydatidosis is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice
and cholangitis associated with significant rates of POM and mortality.
