Therapies and Procedures

1.	Cystotomy 02/01/2003 - "We conclude that cystotomy-capitonnage is a successful treatment for pediatric pulmonary hydatid cysts, as it preserves the parenchyma.

2.	Pleurodesis 02/01/2010 - "In this study, the efficacy of autologous blood patch pleurodesis for prolonged air leak in spontaneous pneumothorax and secondary to pulmonary hydatid cyst operations was evaluated. "
3.	Thoracotomy 02/01/2014 - "We also found that it is possible to use thoracotomy with serratus preservation rather than muscle-sparing thoracotomy in cases with benign diseases where a large field of view is required, such as for decortication and pulmonary hydatid cysts, without any significant decrease in the quality of life, especially in females." 11/01/2012 - "In current practice, thoracotomy remains the standard surgical approach for pulmonary hydatid cysts, so surgical experience is limited, particularly with regard to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).

"
4.	Drug Therapy (Chemotherapy) 04/01/2004 - "The aim of this study was to review the problems encountered in treating ruptured pulmonary hydatid cysts and to highlight the risks associated with chemotherapy and the delay of surgical treatment in pulmonary hydatid disease. " 05/01/2010 - "Preoperative combination therapy with ABZ and PZQ effects a scolicidal response which increases with the increasing duration of the preoperative chemotherapy, and a 4-week course of the combination chemotherapeutic agents seems to be the minimum required duration for ensuring scolicidal activity enough to prevent spillage-induced recurrences following pulmonary hydatidosis." 07/01/1998 - "The unusual presentation of pulmonary hydatid cyst and the response to pharmacotherapy is briefly reviewed." 01/01/2006 - "They were operated on for bilateral complicated pulmonary hydatidosis (2), mediastinal teratocarcinoma with right lung invasion and mediastinal Hodgkin's disease after chemotherapy failure.

Of 9 cases with concomitant liver and pulmonary hydatid cysts, 8 were approached by right thoracophrenotomy and 1 by median sternotomy and right phrenotomy. " 04/01/1983 - "Extirpation of the cyst is preferred for extrapulmonary location, and median sternotomy is applied for bilateral multiple pulmonary hydatid cysts. "
