Introduction

Liver cyst excision is a surgical procedure performed to remove or unroof symptomatic liver cysts that cause pain, discomfort, pressure symptoms, or complications.
Liver cysts are fluid-filled sacs within the liver and are usually benign. While many remain asymptomatic, larger or growing cysts may lead to abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, early satiety, or infection.
When symptoms develop or complications arise, surgical excision offers a definitive and long-lasting solution while preserving healthy liver tissue.

Types of Liver Cyst Surgery

Laparoscopic Cyst Excision (Unroofing / Fenestration)

• Minimally invasive approach
• Drainage and removal of cyst wall
• Most commonly performed method

Open Liver Cyst Excision

• Required for very large or complex cysts
• Used when minimally invasive surgery is not suitable

Partial Liver Resection (Rare Cases)

• Used when cyst involves liver tissue extensively

The surgical approach is chosen based on cyst size, location, and complexity.

Diagnostic Evaluation Before Surgery

Evaluation typically includes:

• Abdominal ultrasound
• CT or MRI of the liver
• Blood tests including liver function
• Tumor markers if cyst characteristics are unclear

Accurate imaging ensures safe and targeted surgery.
