Lung Hydatid Cyst Surgery Conservative Treatment or Anatomical Resection: about 153 patients

Abstract

Hydatidosis is a parasitic condition caused by contamination of humans by the larval form of Taenia echinococcus granulosus . The lung is the preferred location after the liver. The disease is characterized by the development of one or more cysts within the parenchyma. All cysts should be operated on, whether they are symptomatic or not. The goal of treatment is to eradicate the parasite while preserving as much functional parenchyma as possible. Surgery includes conservative techniques and anatomical resections (Lobectomy; segmentectomy and pneumonectomy). We report the surgical results of retrospective work; analytical and monocentric study on lung damage caused by hydatid disease in 153 cases collected in our department, between January 2019 and June 2022. The average age was 43 years, and all patients underwent open surgery. open ; the parameters studied are demographic data, the concept of contagion, clinical manifestations, paraclinical results; surgical management (technique) and complications. The objective of our work is to analyze the role of surgical treatment in the management of pulmonary hydatid cyst, the different conservative and radical surgical techniques, and to evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications as well as the recurrence rate in depending on each technique used. The results of our study confirmed the correct surgical strategy for each indication which allowed us to obtain zero mortality and very low morbidity.
