Core Tip
Core tip: Although various methods have been developed as interventional procedures, there is no knowledge in the literature on which technique should be used when entering the cyst hydatid cavity. İn this study, no differences have been found between the Seldinger and Trocar techniques that gain entry to the cyst hydatid cavity in terms of the efficacy of the treatment and the rates of early and late complications. Although trocar technique is a practical method that is easier and more economical to apply compared with the drainage procedure conducted using Seldinger technique, it should not be considered in post-surgical and elderly patients.
