Q1. Disadvantage of capitonnage after removal of cyst cavity contents  is
a) It can obliterate potential bile duct orifices
b) Closure of cavity is not adequate
c) The procedure is not possible in rigid or calcified cyst
d) It can be easily done in cyst close to diaphragm

Answers
1 c)
Capitonnage has the  advantages of diminishing the size of the residual cavity and obliterating the potential bile duct orifices by closing the adventitial pericystic walls. This procedure, which should not be used in complicated cysts, is not possible for rigid or calcified cysts, for very large cavities, for intraparenchymal cysts, and for cysts lying close to the diaphragm or posterior surface of liver.
