[The choice of the treatment method in complicated lung cysts in children]
Insights
This study reviewed 27 pediatric lung cyst cases. Conservative treatment showed limited success, highlighting the need for surgical intervention in complex or recurrent lung cysts.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Pulmonology
- Thoracic Surgery
Background:
- Complicated lung cysts are infrequent in pediatric patients, representing 1.1% of all pulmonary diseases.
- Treatment strategies for pediatric lung cysts vary, with conservative and surgical options available.
Abstract:
The paper analyzes the experience in treating 27 children suffering from complicated cysts of the lungs, which accounts for 1.1% of the total number of patients with pulmonary diseases. Eleven of them were treated conservatively, they underwent puncture or drainage of the cyst with bronchial occlusion. Satisfactory results were achieved in 4 children. Radical operations were made in all cases of recurrent solitary cysts and in genuine cysts not connecting with the bronchial tree. In all cases of complicated genuine cysts of the lung one should take into account their combination with intralobular sequestration of the lung.
