Abstract

A patient five months pregnant with recurrent hydatid cyst of the liver who had had previous marsupialization of the cyst, underwent a total left hepatic lobectomy. A slight elevation of the serum alkaline phosphatase level was the only postoperative derangement noted in the liver profile tests. The patient made an uneventful convalescence, with return of the alkaline phosphatase to normal. The pregnancy proceeded uninterruptedly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
