The median age was 8\u00a0years, with a nearly equal sex distribution (59 males and 58 females). The median Sun Pediatric Comorbidity Index (SPCI) was 1 [IQR, 0\u20132]. The mean cyst size was 8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.4\u00a0cm, with right lobe involvement observed in 83 patients (70.9%). Concomitant extrahepatic hydatid disease was identified in 23 children (19.7%). Postoperative complications occurred in 25 patients (21.4%). In multivariate analysis, three factors were independently associated with postoperative morbidity: SPCI\u00a0\u2265\u00a03 (OR 5.748, 95% CI 1.696\u201319.482;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.005), cyst size\u00a0&gt;\u00a08\u00a0cm (OR 5.020, 95% CI 1.172\u201321.513;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.030), and concomitant extrahepatic hydatid disease (OR 6.355, 95% CI 1.710\u201323.620;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.006).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Postoperative morbidity after pediatric liver hydatid surgery remains frequent.
