Preoperative assessment of an echinococcal liver cyst with surrounding tissue structures is extremely important for planning the course surgical intervention. The paper presents first experience treating a patient parasitic using three-dimensional reconstruction affected by echinococcus at preoperative stage. use this approach made it possible to avoid development intraoperative complications a...
