Echinococcal Liver Infections: Comparing Transplant Strategies for Granulosus and Alveolaris
Liver transplantation is a safe and effective treatment for EG and EA, requiring distinct strategies tailored to each disease. EG transplants are typically performed to manage complications, whereas EA transplants necessitate advanced surgical techniques, including minimal liver manipulation and IVC plasty. These findings emphasize the critical role of specialized centers and tailored strategies in managing complex echinococcal liver infections.
