Özet

Background. Hepatic hydatid cysts are common disorders in Turkey. Although most patients are treated by percutaneous drainage, some cases require operative intervention. Biliary fistula is a major complication of hydatid cyst operations. The purpose of this study is to identify preoperative predictors of cystobiliary fistula (CBF) and to develop a scoring system for this disorder.
