“…All the authors emphasized that lobectomy was necessary in cases of irreversible alterations in the lung parenchyma (1,5,8,10,11,14,16,(18)(19)(20). The decision for lobectomy was made in the presence of the destroyed parenchyma during the evaluation made after cyst fluid and germinative membrane in the intact cysts and infected material in the ruptured cysts were removed.…”

Although parenchymal sparing surgery is the most appropriate for the treatment of hydatid cysts, rarely lobectomy is needed. We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the cases in which we had to perform lobectomy due to hydatid cyst. Materials and methods:A total of 36 (1.88%) patients that underwent lobectomy (n = 35) and pneumonectomy (n = 1) from among 1909 patients operated on for hydatid cyst in our hospital between 1992 and 2012 were retrospectively evaluated.Results: Among the patients, 35 underwent lobectomy and 1 right pneumonectomy. The mean age of the patients was 11.1 ± 3.4 years (6-16 years) among children and 43.2 ± 13.8 years (20-78 years) among adults. The most common indications for lobectomy were destroyed parenchyma in 22 (61.1%), hemoptysis in 17 (47.2%), and parenchymal loss due to giant cyst in 12 (33.3%) cases. Postoperative morbidity was observed in 9 (25%) patients, and no mortality was observed. Conclusion:The effective treatment for hydatid cyst is parenchymal sparing surgery. However, lobectomy is an inevitable result with indications such as destroyed parenchyma, hemoptysis, parenchymal loss due to giant cyst, lobe bronchus ruptured into the cystic cavity, broncho-pleural fistula, suspected malignancy, broncho-bilier fistula, and pulmonary abscess.

“…Although parenchyma‐sparing conservative surgical methods are recommended, segmentectomy, lobectomy and wedge resection may also be used as surgical methods 6,7 . The rate of lobectomy is stated as 0.5–45% in the published reports 5,8–10 . Some authors have not used lobectomies in large series studies and they suggest that no partial organ resections are necessary for hydatid disease, they state that highly successful results can be achieved using conservative surgical approaches 11 .…”

“…Intrathoracic but extrapleural hydatid cysts are still rarer and can be located in the fissures, pleural cavity, chest wall, mediastinum, myocardium, and diaphragm. Though daughter cysts in pleura and pleural complications of primary pulmonary hydatid disease have been reported, primary extra-pulmonary hydatids are extremely rare [5,6] . The route of pulmonary infestation can be Intestinal, lymphatics, venal-venous anastomosis in the liver and the space of Retzius.The clinical features of cystic hydatidosis are highly variable and depend on the size, number of cyst, location in the thorax, and their interaction with the surrounding organs.…”
