Summary

This study tests a new surgical technique for people with liver echinococcosis (a parasitic infection) who develop bile leaks after surgery. The method uses a special medical glue to seal the leak, aiming to reduce complications and speed up recovery. Researchers will track how often leaks close and how much treatment costs, involving 200 participants in Uzbekistan.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a safer, more effective way to repair bile leaks during liver surgery for echinococcosis, reducing complications and recovery time.
