• Pulmonary hydatid cysts reportedly lead to bilateral lung involvement in 14% of cases.
• In cases where bilateral cysts are present, surgical planning should be based on a comprehensive evaluation of the intactness or complication status, diameters, and risk of dissemination of the cysts.
• Like many authors, we also recommend treating bilateral cysts with a 2-stage operation.
• These cases are typically approached thoracotomically or thoracoscopically, with a 2-4 week interval between surgeries.
• If a patient has both an intact hydatid cyst in one lung and a ruptured complicated cyst in the other lung, the intact cyst should be given priority during surgery.
• Similarly, priority should be given to the hemithorax with the larger diameter cyst, the cyst located more centrally, or the hemithorax containing more cysts.
• In the case of bilateral cysts, albendazole treatment was started after the second operation.
