A total of 66 patients were operated on, 7 of them were operated in the BUZ UR "1 RCB of the Ministry of Health of UR" for 2020-2022. Conclusions: Echinococcosis has been and remains a serious and topical human parasitic disease. Despite the study of this disease, diagnosis remains difficult due to the fact that the examination of the patient does not contain specific symptoms for diagnosis. In recent years, the clinic has begun to introduce endoscopic methods of treatment that improve the prognosis of a speedy recovery. The immunohistochemical method showed high efficiency in the diagnosis of echinococcosis.
