“…Treatment relies on surgical excision of the cyst with or without lung tissue resection [ 69 ]. In a systematic review, the use of uni-portal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was associated with an overall complication rate of 9.35% and no reported recurrence [ 69 ]. Generally, surgical removal of pulmonary hydatid cysts is associated with low morbidity and mortality [ 70 ].…”

Parasitic lung diseases are caused by a number of parasites as a result of transient passage in the lung or as a result of an immunologic reaction. The clinical presentation may be in the form of focal or cystic lesions, pleural effusion or diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. With increasing globalisation, it is important to consider parasitic infections in the differential diagnosis of lung diseases. This is particularly important since early identification and prompt therapy result in full cure of these conditions. In this review, we summarise the most common parasitic lung diseases.

“… 6 Admittedly, certain types of hydatid cysts can be operated on by VATS. 18 19 But in cases of complicated hydatid cyst, such as the case of our patient who presented with pachypleuritis and a bronchopleural fistula, a thoracotomy approach remains preferable. 10 11 …”

Objective This study aims to show the place of muscle-sparing posterolateral thoracotomy in the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. Methods It was a single-center study performed in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Teaching hospital Hassan II of Fez for 8 years. We adopted the nosological definition, which classifies spontaneous pneumothorax into three categories. We included patients over 15 years of age with primary or secondary spontaneous pneumothorax operated by posterolateral thoracotomy without muscle section, and we analyzed the specific indications of this approach. It included 49 patients with primary or secondary spontaneous pneumothorax, operated by muscle-sparing posterolateral thoracotomy. Data were collected from regularly updated computer files of patients, entered by Excel 2013, and analyzed using SPSS.20 software. These data are: epidemiological, clinical, radiological, surgical exploration, surgical procedure, the result of the surgery and the evolution. Results The average age was 42 years. Smoking was found in 61% of cases and pulmonary tuberculosis in 10% of cases. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) showed bullae and blebs in 31% of cases, pleural adhesions and pachypleuritis in 50% of cases, and hydropneumothorax with pachypleuritis in 37% of cases. There is a statistical correlation between pleuropulmonary decortication and pachypleuritis (p = 0.002) or hydropneumothorax (p = 0.001) on CT. Bullae and blebs resection was performed in 53% of cases and pleuropulmonary decortication in 63% of cases. A right pleuropneumonectomy was performed in one case. The follow-up was uneventful in 82% of cases. Conclusion Muscle-sparing posterolateral thoracotomy remains the best approach and leads to good results.

“…Surgical removal of cysts is the primary treatment for bilateral hydatid cysts. The type of surgical approach depends on the location, size, and number of cysts [ 10 ]. Various treatment techniques are used for hydatid cysts, such as the laparoscopic approach, percutaneous techniques, and open surgery [ 11 ].…”
