Abstract

The hepatic polycystic disease represents a hereditary condition with a reduced prevalence in the general population, sometimes associated with polycystic kidney disease. We present a retrospective observational study applied to 49 patients. The study aimed to observe the laparoscopic surgery of simple hepatic cysts. Laparoscopic approach is a simple and successful surgery management of these types of cysts.
