18 patients have been subject to irrigation-drainage of the residual cavity after a treatment of hydatic cyst of the liver. This technic of drainage has been indicated in the most serious forms where the treatment of the residual cavity if difficult or impossible. The post-operative courses were satisfying in 17 cases. One decease has no relation with the technic. The results of the irrigation-drainage are compared to the other methods of treatment. Otherwise, the echography reveals itself to be an excellent mean of valuation and post-operative control.
