title: Single-port thoracoscopic surgery for a hudge hydatid cyst.
abstract: Treatment of pulmonary hydatid cyst with thoracoscopic approach actually developed in recent years. In the literature, thoracoscopic approach for pulmonary hydatid cyst is seen as small case groups, and multiple port incisions are performed in these studies. I aimed to present a hydatid cyst case that had been operated with a single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery technique that is performed in our clinic and described in the literature for the first time.
