Its prevalence is also high in the Mediterranean region including Turkey. &lt;i&gt;Objective:&lt;\/i&gt; To determine the presentation, approach to surgical treatment and outcome of hydatid disease in an endemic region. &lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt; From January 1989 to December 1998 288 patients, aged between 1 and 71 years with a mean age of 31 years (134 female, 154 male), were operated on for pulmonary hydatidosis. Clinical charts of the patients were reviewed retrospectively in a tertiary referral hospital. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; Of 288 patients, 30 patients were asymptomatic, the rest (89%) were symptomatic, cough and chest pain being the most common symptoms. Fifty-three patients (18%) had associated liver hydatid cysts. Bilateral lung hydatid cysts were present in 18 patients (6%). Recurrent hydatid cysts were observed in 33 patients (11%). Seventy-seven patients (27%) presented with complicated hydatid cysts. Postoperative morbidity was observed in 3 patients [bronchopleural fistula (2), infection of the cyst space (1)] and postoperative mortality in 1 patient who presented with hydatid lung disease associated with liver and brain cysts. In the remaining 98.6%, no complications were noted. &lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt; In conclusion, hydatidosis is still an important public health problem in Turkey and in an endemic country such as Turkey hydatid lung disease should be considered initially in a patient presenting with a corresponding chest roentgenogram and a compatible epidemiologic history. Surgery is indicated in all symptomatic and\/or enlarging or infected cysts. When necessary lobectomy or wedge resection can be the procedure of choice. Single-stage combined resection is preferred in hydatid lung disease with associated liver hydatid cysts. Total postoperative complication and mortality rate is low and we recommend a close follow-up of the operated cases to diagnose postoperative recurrence early in its course.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000067470","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,15]],"date-time":"2003-04-15T17:26:45Z","timestamp":1050427605000},"page":"539-542","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Review of Cases with Cystic Hydatid Lung Disease in a Tertiary Referral Hospital Located in an Endemic Region: A 10 Years\u2019 Experience"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Meltem","family":"Tor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Atasalihi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nejat","family":"Altuntas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ebru","family":"Sulu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tuncer","family":"Senol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Altan","family":"Kir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Reha","family":"Baran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(97)00475-X"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.99.14350399"}],"container-title":["Respiration"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/67470","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/67470","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:24:20Z","timestamp":1745465060000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000067470"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2000]]},"references-count":2,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,10,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000067470","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0025-7931","1423-0356"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0025-7931","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0356","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2000]]}}}
