  • Title: [Single-stage operation in simultaneous pulmonary and liver hydatic disease].
    Author: Grigoroiu M, Stănescu C, Merlusca G, Popescu I.

    Abstract:
    The most frequent association of hydatic disease lesions is hepatic and pulmonary localisations. It is generally admitted that surgical treatment is the only effectiveness treatment in hydatidosis. The classic approach is the two-stage surgical interventions of pulmonary and liver localisation or one-stage extensive thoraco-phrenic-laparotomy, exclusively reserved to right pulmonary hydatic cysts associated with hepatic dome localisations. The study presents single-stage operation by thoracotomy or mini-invasive thoracic surgery and laparotomy or laparoscopy, or single-stage thoracic approach, as alternative of classic attitude and evaluates the results in 10 patients with synchronous pulmonary and liver hydatic cysts. Overall observations are-encouraging.
