Currently, the treatment of liver cysts is mainly surgical, but they may recur and cannot be completely eradicated.
Liver cysts are single or multiple cystic lesions in the liver, with simple liver cysts being the most common, followed by polycystic liver disease.
Liver cysts develop slowly and the prognosis is generally good. Surgical removal of the cysts may result in healing, but recurrence may occur in some patients. The treatment of liver cysts should be individualized, depending on the type of disease, and the optimal treatment should be selected after integrating all circumstances, which will help reduce the chance of recurrence.
Currently, for liver cysts, laparoscopic cyst opening and drainage should be preferred; partial hepatectomy is feasible if the cyst is located at the edge of the liver; liver transplantation is recommended for patients with polycystic liver leading to end-stage liver disease.
Patients with hepatic cysts should consult the doctor in time, complete the relevant examinations, make a clear diagnosis, and then take the appropriate treatment plan.
