Surgery for [[echinococcosis]] is indicated if the cyst is non-echoic and greater than 5 cm in diameter (CE1m and l), contains daughter cysts (CE2), and/or is associated with the detachment of membranes (CE3), consists of multiple cysts that are accessible to be punctured, are [[infected]] or in the patients who fail to respond to [[chemotherapy]] alone.

Overview

Surgery for echinococcosis is indicated if the cyst is non-echoic and greater than 5 cm in diameter (CE1m and l), contains daughter cysts (CE2), and/or is associated with the detachment of membranes (CE3), consists of multiple cysts that are accessible to be punctured, are infected or in the patients who fail to respond to chemotherapy alone. Puncture, aspiration, injection and reaspiration, also known as the PAIR protocol, is utilized for the surgical treatment of echinococcal cysts.

Surgery

Indications for PAIR

Patients with:

PAIR Protocol

The critical points in the PAIR protocol can be summarized below[1][2][3][4]

PAIR Protocol Preferred management
Prophylaxis pre- & post procedure Albendazole
Communication with biliary tree ERCP + cystography or cystography alone
Electrolytes in the fluid Not mandatory; may help for assessing the nature of the cyst
Scolicidal agent to be used Hypertonic saline (at least 15 % final concentration in cyst) or 95 % alcohol
Quantity of scolicide injected At least 1/3 of the aspirated quantity
Evaluation of viability Microscopic examination, staining with methylene blue/eosin red
Needle vs catheter Needle for cysts < 5 cm or in multiloculated cysts, catheter for cyst > 5 cm (PAIRD)
Follow-up Every week for the 1st month, then every other month for the 1st year, then every year for 10 years

Contraindications for PAIR

Benefits of PAIR
