Retrospective evaluation of postsurgical outcomes of patients operated with the diagnosis of pulmonary hydatid cyst
Abstract
Objective: Hydatid cysts may occur in almost every organ and tissue of human the body. Because they can be found in more than one organ/tissue, sometimes many operations may need for them and surgical intervention may be required due to complications that may develop secondary to hydatid cyst surgery albeit few.
Method: Data on patient files retrieved from the hospital information management system or archive were analyzed retrospectively. Surgical results of patients operated with the diagnosis of hydatid cyst between 2008 and 2018 in our clinic were discussed retrospectively.
Results: Ninety-three operations were performed in 84 patients due to pulmonary hydatid cysts. Fourty-four of them were male (52.4%), 40 were female and their mean age was 44 (5-85) years. Twenty-two (26.2%) patients were asymptomatic and 62 (73.8%) were symptomatic. Hydatid cysts were located in right hemithorax in 45 (53.6%) patients, in left hemithorax in 30 (35.7%) patients and bilaterally in 9 (10.7%) patients. Twenty-six patients (31%) had both pulmonary and hepatic hydatid cysts. Posterolateral thoracotomy and cystotomy-capitonnage were the most common methods (89.3%), 9 patients (10.7%) underwent wedge resection. Four patients developed atelectasis, 2 patients had hydropneumothorax, 4 patients had isolated prolonged air leak, 1 patient developed massive pulmonary embolism, and 1 patient developed Aspergillus infection the quilted cavity.
Conclusions: Hydatid cyst disease has still been a serious health concern in Turkey. When the careful and experienced surgeons perform the operations, the postoperative period is usually uneventful and morbidity is extremely low.
