Perioperative outcomes and hospitalization costs of radical vs. conservative surgery for hepatic cystic echinococcosis: A retrospective study
This study suggests that radical surgery is associated with greater surgical complexity and higher hospitalization costs, while it doesn't offer a significant short-term advantage. Conservative surgery may be a viable option in resource-limited settings or for patients unsuitable for complex procedures. Further research with long-term follow-up is needed to determine the optimal approach.
