RESUMEN

The authors studied 271 (14.3%) patients with recurrent echinococcosis among 1,924 examined patients who had undergone operation. They claim that recurrences should not be divided into true and false. A careful study of recurrences after operation, their localization, provides evidence for regarding that 6.9% had primary-multiple, combined, and disseminated affections. Residual echinococcosis occurred in 6.1 per cent of the patients. Subsequent adequate operations cure the patients.
