In order to prevent spillage, a large diameter suction curette (as used for suction to terminate pregnancy) has been used during hydatid operations at the University Hospital in Nottingham, UK. No blockage of the curette has occurred and no damage to the pericyst was caused in the 16 cases where this method was used.
