Abstract: In the diagnosis of pulmonary echinococcosis, in difficult cases computed tomography (CT) of the chest and abdominal organs was used for the purpose of differentiation. Of the 132 operated patients with pulmonary echinococcosis, 14 (10.61%) underwent thoracoscopic echinococcectomy (through trocar punctures in the chest wall). In 92 (69.70%) patients, echinococcectomy of the lung was performed through video-assisted minithoracotomy. In 14 (10.61%) patients, echinococcectomy of the lung was performed through a wide thoracotomy approach. Wide thoracotomy was used only for multiple and recurrent lung cysts.
