    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Parasitology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Pulmonary hydatid cysts are parasitic infections affecting the lungs.
    • Surgical intervention is a primary treatment modality for lung hydatid disease.
    • Long-term surgical outcomes require continuous review.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the surgical experience with pulmonary hydatid cysts over a 25-year period.
    • To analyze patient demographics, diagnostic methods, and surgical outcomes.
    • To provide recommendations for optimal surgical management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 102 patients undergoing surgery for pulmonary hydatid cysts.
    • Diagnosis based on radiographic findings.
    • Surgical techniques included Barrett's enucleation and resection.

    Main Results:

    • 102 patients operated on over 25 years.
    • Sex incidence was approximately equal.
    • Most patients were symptomatic; diagnosis confirmed radiographically.
    • Complicated cysts showed increased postoperative morbidity and mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • Early surgical intervention is advised for complicated pulmonary hydatid cysts.
    • Barrett's enucleation is suitable for uncomplicated cysts.
    • Resection is indicated for complicated cysts to manage increased risks.
