RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ECHINOCOCCOSIS OF THE LUNGS

Abstract

Surgery of echinococcosis of the lungs (EL) refers to an acute acute problem, due to the frequent complicated course of the disease and the continuing high proportion of postoperative complications. The purpose of the study. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method of surgical treatment of complicated EL. Material and methods. The study was conducted for the period from 2010 to April 2023. The study included a total of 366 patients with EL. Results. The proposed tactical and technical aspects in the surgical treatment of EL allowed to reduce the time of drainage of the pleural cavity from 4.5±3.6 days after organ-preserving operations and 4.2±3.5 days after resection interventions to 2.9±1.6 days in the main group, as well as the duration of the postoperative hospital stage from 10.0±3.9 days and 9.8±3.4 days to 8.2±2.6 days. Conclusion. The proposed method of suturing the bronchial stump in combination with the use of hemostatic agent Hemoben and laser exposure during resection interventions in patients with EL allowed to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications
