Laparoscopic Management of Symptomatic Nonparasitic Cysts of the Liver Indications and Results

Abstract

The best indications for laparoscopic fenestration seem to be solitary cyst and PLD characterized by large cysts mainly located on the liver surface (type 1), whereas PLD characterized by numerous small cysts all over the liver (type 2) should be considered a contraindication to laparoscopic fenestration.
