Objective To summarize the therapeutic effect and clinical significance of reduced volume lesion resection combined with drug therapy for end-stage alveolar hepatic echinococcosis.Method Clinical data of 46 patients with end-stage alveolar hepatic echinococcosis who received treatment of reduced volume lesion resection combined with drug therapy at Department of General Surgery of Qinghai Provincial People’s Hospital from March 2013 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among the 46 patients, 3 patients were lost to follow-up and 43 patients received follow-up. The follow-up time ranged from 3 to 79 months, with the median of 40 months. Fifteen patients died during the follow-up period, of which 5 patients with cerebral hydatid disease died during 16–36 months due to acute seizures and cerebral edema, 4 patients with multiple systemic metastases died during 9–36 months due to multiple organ failure, 2 patients with pulmonary echinococcosis died due to acute pulmonary embolism, 4 patients died in 2 years after operation due to recurrent biliary tract infection, other patients survived during follow-up period without distant organ metastasis.Conclusion Reduced volume lesion resection combined with drug therapy in treatment of end-stage alveolar hepatic echinococcosis can improve the patient’s quality of life, reduce the hospital cost, reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, and shorten the length of hospital stay.
