Abstract

Background: Hydatid disease of the lungs is still a serious health problem for some Mediterranean countries. The best surgical therapy for the treatment of this disease is still unclear. In this clinical retrospective study, we aimed to investigate whether capitonnage is an effective therapy method for a pulmonary hydatid cyst or not.
