Brief Answer:
Question regarding hydatid cyst prognosis. Detailed below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your question in 'Ask A Doctor service'.
Below is my opinion for your question.

The overall mortality in treated hydatid cyst is below 1%. Surgical management is the only treatment for that along with albendazole.

The risk and complication of hydatid cyst include rupture of cyst and leading nearby bile canaliculi infection and peritoneum infection.
But your cyst was not ruptured.
So prognosis will be good for him.

After surgical operation there is chance of acquiring infection sometime. So if there is any fever or severe abdominal pain than you should consult your doctor.

You have to complete albendazole course for three months as suggested by your doctor.

Hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further for your specific question if in mind.
