dc.description.abstractObjective(s): To discuss the features of pulmonary hydatid cysts in male and female patients in terms of clinical, radiological, and surgical approaches Design: Retrospective study Setting: Thoracic surgery clinics of two universities in Turkey Subjects: Comparison of pulmonary hydatid cysts between men and women Intervention(s): Over the last 10 years, surgery was performed on 84 patients with pulmonary hydatid cysts (62 female and 22 male). Main outcome measure(s): The patients in both groups were analyzed according to clinical, radiological, surgical, and postoperative characteristics. Results: In this study, the number of female patients who underwent surgery due to pulmonary hydatid cysts was significantly higher than males. In our study, cyst diameter was found to be greater in men than women (respectively, 7.018 cm and 4.560 cm; p = 0.001). When women and men were compared with respect to the rate of total complications, they were found to be higher in men than in women (p = 0.043). Length of hospital stay after surgery was also longer in men (15.29 d) than in women (6.90 d; p = 0.0001). Conclusion(s): In our study, cyst diameter was found to be greater in men than women. Perhaps it may be related to lung and thorax volume being 20-25% smaller in women than in men. In order to reveal the differences between women and men for pulmonary hydatid cysts, there is a need for studies covering both large numbers of cases and large endemic areas.
