This study analyzed the clinical characteristics, diagnostic approaches, and surgical outcomes in 95 patients with human organ echinococcosis treated at Khorezm Regional Clinical Hospital. Patients underwent laboratory testing, serology, and imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI) to determine cyst location, size, and stage. Surgical management included laparoscopic excision for hepatic cysts, thoracoscopic surgery for pulmonary cysts, and open surgery for large or multiorgan involvement. Perioperative albendazole therapy was administered to reduce recurrence risk. Minimally invasive procedures were associated with reduced operative trauma, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and lower rates of minor complications compared to open surgery. Recurrence rates were low and comparable across different surgical approaches. Multiorgan involvement increased surgical complexity but did not affect long-term outcomes when managed by a multidisciplinary team. Careful preoperative preparation, precise surgical technique, and structured postoperative follow-up are critical for optimal outcomes in organ echinococcosis.
