    (Springer, 2024) Aydın, Yener; Ulaş, Ali Bilal; Kaşali, Kamber; Dostbil, Ayşenur; İnce, İlker
    Objective: Bilateral pulmonary involvement is observed in around 14% of cases of pulmonary hydatid cysts and the treatment can be challenging. This study evaluates the clinical characteristics and treatment strategies used for cases of bilateral pulmonary hydatid cysts. Materials and methods: A retrospective examination was conducted on 107 consecutive cases of bilateral pulmonary hydatid cysts treated in our clinic between January 2003 and December 2023. Results: Out of the 107 cases analyzed, 57 (53.3%) were male and 50 (46.7%) were female. Surgical intervention was performed for pulmonary hydatid cysts in 92 cases (86.0%), while medical treatment was prescribed for the remaining 15 cases (14.0%). Bilateral thoracotomies were consecutively conducted in 77 cases; in 11 cases, thoracotomy was carried out on one side and contralateral hydatid cysts were treated medically. Three cases underwent sternotomy, and one underwent bilateral thoracotomy during a single session. One case experienced postoperative hemorrhage, three cases had prolonged air leakage, two cases had empyema, one case had a wound infection, and one case had a recurrence of hydatid cyst. For bilaterally operated cases, albendazole treatment commenced after the second operation and was carried out in two 15-day cycles. Patients who declined, or were not eligible for surgery, were treated with albendazole for an extended period. Conclusions: Consecutive bilateral thoracotomy, followed by two cycles of albendazole therapy, is a highly effective treatment for patients with bilateral pulmonary hydatid cysts. In cases with widespread involvement, ruptured small cysts, or serious comorbidities, long-term medical treatment including albendazole administration may be applied.

    Treatment of pulmonary hydatid cysts: a single-centre analysis of 872 cases
    (Oxford University Press, 2025) Aydın, Yener; Ulaş, Ali Bilal; Kaşali, Kamber; Eren, Suat; Dostbil, Ayşenur; Eroğlu, Atilla
    OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to investigate the importance of pulmonary parenchyma preservation, the results of cystotomy and the capitonnage technique and the efficacy of postoperative albendazole treatment. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted at a single centre between 2000 and 2024, encompassing 872 consecutive patients with pulmonary hydatid cysts. RESULTS: Of the cases studied, 394 (45.2%) were female and 478 (54.8%) were male, with a mean age of 26.8 ± 19.7 years (range: 2–86 years). Isolated lung involvement was observed in 553 (63.4%) cases. In general, a single hydatid cyst was detected in 665 (76.3%) patients, and 466 (53.4%) of these had isolated lung involvement. In 452 cases (51.8%), only the right lung was affected, whereas 294 (33.7%) had left lung involvement, and 126 (14.5%) had bilateral lung involvement. An operation was performed in 807 (92.5%) cases. Cystotomy and capitonnage were performed in 782 (89.7%) patients. Thoracoscopic wedge resection was performed in 13 cases (1.5%), cystotomy alone in 5 cases (0.6%), lobectomy in 5 cases (0.6%) and enucleation with capitonnage in 2 cases (0.2%). Postoperative complications included atelectasis in 45 cases (5.6%), prolonged air leak in 8 cases (1.0%), empyema in 6 cases (0.7%), wound infection in 3 cases (0.4%) and bleeding in 2 cases (0.2%). Recurrence was observed in 4 (0.5%) surgically treated cases, and 1 case (0.1%) resulted in death in the postoperative period. CONCLUSIONS: The management of pulmonary hydatid cysts with cystotomy and capitonnage is feasible in the majority of patients and results in acceptable success and complication rates. Administration of albendazole postoperatively has been shown to be an effective method of preventing recurrence.
