Abstract
Objective: to look for the various aspects of hydatid disease of liver in Kashmir. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted over a period of three years from October 2014 to October 2017 in the unit second of the department of surgery in SMHS hospital at Government Medical College, Srinagar. Results: Majority of the patients were from 4th to 6th decade of life. The mean age was 43 years. The sex incidence revealed female preponderance in the study (M:F ratio of 1:1.5). The right lobe of liver was the most commonly involved in 80 %( 64) of the cases and the left lobe in 20% (16) of the cases. There was a solitary cyst in 60 %( 48) of the patients and more than 1 cyst in 40% (32) of the patients. More than 50% of the cases presented within second year of the onset of their illness. Majority of patients were from rural areas (64) and remaining (16) were from urban areas. History of contact with animals was available in 48 cases. Conclusion: Hydatid disease of liver in Kashmir is not different from that in other parts well known for hydatid disease of liver. Surgical management is very safe and effective treatment. Prophylactic measures endorsed by the public awareness measures can reduce its incidence.
