Aim: The goal of the paper was to evaluate the procedure of percutaneous drainage of symptomatic hepatic cysts under the transabdominal ultrasound control combined with obliteration. Material and method: Within the period from 2005 to 2015, 70 patients diagnosed with a simple hepatic cyst of symptomatic nature were subject to hospitalization and treated at the 2nd General, Gastroenterological and Cancer Surgery of the Alimentary System Center and Clinics of the Medical University of Lublin. All the patients subject to evaluation were qualified to percutaneous drainage under an ultrasound control. The drainage utilized typical sets of drains with the diameter of at least 9 F, most often of pigtail type. The fluid aspirated form the cyst was dispatched for complex laboratory testing. Further, a 10% sodium chloride solution was administered to the cyst through the drain, in the volume depending on the previous size of the cyst and the patient’s reaction. Results: Patients reported for a re-visit within the period from 3 to 9 months following the procedure. Complete obliteration of the cyst was confirmed only in 8 patients (11%). Cyst recurrence was reported in cases when during the ultrasound evaluation, the diameter of the cyst following aspiration and obliteration enlarged to over 75% of the initial dimension. In this group, in 10 out of 12 examined (83%) there was a relapse of the previously observed ailments. Among patients, who has a cyst imaged within the period of observation, which had the diameter from 50% to 75% of the previous size, only in 6 cases (37.5%) the initial symptoms relapsed. Conclusions: The utilization of a drainage and obliteration enables one to achieve the acceptable result of the therapy as well as significant decrease in the number of previously reported ailments and symptoms described.

Cel pracy: Celem niniejszej pracy była ocena procedury przezskórnego drenażu objawowych torbieli wątroby pod kontrolą ultrasonografii przezbrzusznej w powiązaniu z obliteracją. Materiał i metoda: W okresie od 2005 do 2015 roku 70 pacjentów z rozpoznaniem prostej torbieli wątroby o objawowym charakterze było hospitalizowanych i leczonych w II Klinice Chirurgii Ogólnej, Gastroenterologicznej i Nowotworów Układu Pokarmowego Uniwersytetu Medycznego w Lublinie. Wszystkich ocenianych pacjentów tyzakwalifikowano do drenażu przezskórnego pod kontrolą USG. Do drenażu wykorzystywano typowe zestawy drenów o średnicy co najmniej 9 F, najczęściej typu pigtail, czyli „świński ogonek”. Aspirowany płyn z torbieli był wysyłany do kompleksowego badania laboratoryjnego. W dalszej kolejności poprzez założony dren podawano do jamy torbieli 10-procentowy roztwór chlorku sodu w objętości zależnej od wcześniejszej wielkości torbieli oraz od reakcji pacjenta. Wyniki: Pacjenci zgłaszali się na kontrolę w okresie od 3 do 9 miesięcy po zabiegu. Całkowite zarośnięcie jamy torbieli potwierdzono jedynie u 8 leczonych (11%). Za nawrót torbieli uznano przypadki, gdy w ocenie ultrasonograficznej średnica torbieli po aspiracji i obliteracji powiększyła się do ponad 75% początkowego wymiaru. W tej grupie u 10 z 12 badanych (83%) doszło do nawrotu wcześniej stwierdzanych dolegliwości. U pacjentów, u których w okresie obserwacji zobrazowano torbiel o średnicy od 50% do 75% wcześniejszej wielkości, tylko w 6 przypadkach (37,5%) ponowiły się pierwotne objawy. Wnioski: Zastosowanie drenażu oraz obliteracji pozwala na osiągnięcie akceptowalnego wyniku terapii, a także znacznego spadku wcześniej zgłaszanych dolegliwości i opisywanych objawów.
