Abstract
Video-assisted thoracoscopy for surgery of pulmonary hydatid cyst disease is superior to open thoracotomy causing less postoperative pain, a better cosmetic result, a shorter surgical time, a lower drainage volume, and a shorter time to drain removal in a selected group of patients. The fear of recurrence because of incomplete isolation of the cyst during removal was not a concern regarding our technique.
