title: [Surgical tactics in associated echinococcosis of the liver and lung].
abstract: Over 10 years operations were conducted in 28 patients with hydatid disease with concurrent involvement of the liver and lungs, which accounted for 5.76% of all patients with hydatid disease of the thoracic and abdominal organs. The following variants were encountered: uncomplicated echinococcosis of the right lung and right hepatic lobe (13 patients); uncomplicated echinococcosis of the left lung and liver (3); suppurative hydatid cyst of the liver with rupture into the pleural cavity and the development of pyothorax (9); rupture of a hepatic hydatid cyst into the bronchial tree of the right lung with the development of a cysto-bronchial fistula (3 patients). In the group of 28 patients with concurrent involvement of the liver and lung 18 were operated on through a thoraco-phreno-laparotomic approach, 9 through a transpleural approach, and one patient underwent a two-stage operation. The success of the treatment is determined by early recognition of the concurrent echinococcosis and the choice of the optimal surgical tactics. One-stage echinococcotomy from the liver and lung is the operation of choice in concurrent affection of the liver and right lung.
