The aim was to analyses the incidence and the independent factors associated with Textbook Outcome following surgical treatment of liver hydatid cysts (LHC).

Textbook outcome (TO) is a composite measure to determine the ideal postoperative period and to assess the quality of surgical care. The aim was to analyses the incidence and the independent factors associated with TO following surgical treatment of liver hydatid cysts (LHC).

The investigators conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients operated on for hepatic hydatidosis between January 2006 to December 2021. TO occurred when all the following criteria were fulfilled: no mortality within 90 days, no major complications within 90 days, no reintervention within 90 days and no prolonged hospital stay. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to identify factors associated with TO.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with liver hydatid cyst treated by total or partial pericystectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

• emergency surgery and simple drainage of cyst

Patients with liver hydatid cyst (LHC) diagnosed by preoperative computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pathological diagnosis after surgery, treated by total or partial pericystectomy
