[Current problems in the treatment of thoracic hydatid cysts].
The authors present the experience of the Clinic for Thoracic Surgery of Bucharest, based on a total of 1206 cases of patients operated for hydatic cysts. An original classification is presented, of human hydatidosis, the indications of surgical treatment are stressed, namely the evacuation of the hydatic membrane with the peri-cystic tissue, even in cases of evacuated and suppuratec cysts--the authors objecting to the pulmonary resection in cases of hydatic cysts. The authors have performed simultaneous bilateral interventions, associated or not with phrenotomy, in bilateral and hepatic localizations. In the paper is also presented a new procedure (introduced by Prof. C. Coman) for the total extirpation of the hydatic membrane, a simple procedure which practically prevents effraction of the cyst. On the other hand the results confirm the efficiency of the procedure, very good results being obtained in 98,8% of the cases.
