Abstract
Background: In this study we aimed to evaluate retrospectively the records of patients who were diagnosed to have hydatid cyst and treated surgically in our department.Methods: The records of 308 patients (287 males, 21 females; mean age 24.61 years; range 6 to 72 years) who were diagnosed to have hydatid cyst and treated surgically in our clinic between January 1990 and December 2008 were evaluated retrospectively. The most common presenting symptoms were cough, expectoration and chest pain. Thoracotomy in 296 patients, bilateral staged thoracotomies in eight patients with bilateral hydatid cysts, median sternotomy in one patient with bilateral hydatid cysts, and video-assisted thoracic surgery in three patients were used as surgical approach.Results: Two hundred and eight of the 385 intrapulmonary hydatid cysts were in the right lung and 177 in the left lung. The most common cyst localizations were lower lobes, of each lung. Twenty-eight out of 66 ruptured cysts had been infected. In 15 patients intrathoracic extrapulmonary hydatid cysts were detected. There were cystic lesions in the liver in 48 patients and in left kidney in one patient. Small wedge resection was performed in 27 patients, segmentectomy in five patients and lobectomy in three patients. Other patients were treated with conservative surgical procedures as cystotomy or enucleation. There was no peri- or postoperative mortality. Albendazole treatment was given to patients who had multiple intrathoracic cysts or additional other organ cysts.Conclusion: Principal treatment method of thoracic hydatidosis is surgical removal of the cysts and conservative surgical approaches are safe and effective in most patients.
Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada kist hidatik tanısıyla cerrahi tedavi uygulanan hastaların verileri geriye dönük olarak incelendi.Çalışma planı: Ocak 1990 ile Aralık 2008 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde kist hidatik hastalığı tanısıyla cerrahi tedavi uygulanan 308 hastanın (287 erkek, 21 kadın; ort. yaş 24.6 yıl; dağılım 6-72 yıl) verileri geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Hastalarda en sık rastlanan klinik bulgular öksürük, balgam çıkartma ve göğüs ağrısı idi. Cerrahi yaklaşım olarak 296 hastada torakotomi, iki taraflı kist hidatik hastalığı olan sekiz hastada farklı seanslarda iki taraflı torakotomi, iki taraflı kist hidatik hastalığı olan bir hastada median sternotomi ve üç hastada video-yardımlı torakoskopik cerrahi uygulandı.Bulgular: Üç yüz seksen beş hidatik akciğer kistinin 208'i sağ akciğerde ve 177'si sol akciğerde idi. En yaygın kist yerleşim yerleri her iki akciğerin alt lobları idi. Rüptüre olan 66 kistin 28'i enfekte durumdaydı. Hastaların 15'inde intratorasik ekstrapulmoner hidatik kistler saptandı. Kırk sekiz hastada karaciğerde ve bir hastada sol böbrekte hidatik kist saptandı. Yirmi yedi hastada küçük wedge rezeksiyon, beş hastada segmental rezeksiyon, üç hastada lobektomi uygulandı. Diğer hastalar kistotomi veya enükleasyon gibi konservatif cerrahi yöntemlerle tedavi edildi. Ameliyat sırası ve sonrasında mortalite olmadı. Çoklu intratorasik kistlerde veya ek organ kistlerinde hastalara albendazole tedavisi verildi.Sonuç: Kist hidatik hastalığının asıl tedavisi, kistlerin cerrahi olarak çıkarılmasıdır. Konservatif cerrahi yaklaşımlar hastaların çoğunda etkili ve güvenilir yöntemlerdir.
