Impact of recurrence of hepatic cystic echinococcosis on postoperative outcomes in an endemic region of Chile: a retrospective cohort study
Recurrence of HCE increases the risk of POC. While trends toward higher mortality and prolonged LHS were observed, these did not reach statistical significance. These findings underscore the importance of long-term follow-up and the need to identify prognostic factors for recurrence to optimize outcomes in patients with HCE in endemic regions.
