RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF RECURRENT PULMONARY ECHINOCOCCOSIS DEPENDING ON MORPHOLOGICAL MODIFICATIONS

Relevance. Along with the increase in the number of new cases of the disease, there is a large percentage of relapses of echinococcosis, the frequency of which, according to different authors, varies widely from 3.3 to 54%, which is due to the existing terminological confusion. Material and research methods. Between 2005 and 2019  53 patients with recurrent pulmonary echinococcosis were operated on in the surgical department of SamMI clinic number 1. Research results. Immediate complications after surgery were observed in 6 (11.3%) patients. Postoperative mortality was noted in 1 (1.9%) case. The cause of death was acute cardiovascular failure. Conclusion. Analysis of the morphological characteristics of echinococcal cysts of the lungs showed that recurrent echinococcosis most often occurred with echinococcus veterinorum (50.9%) echinococcus hominis (37.7%) and with echinococcus acephalocystis no relapses of the disease were observed, and if they did occur (6 – 11, 3%) we associate this with reinvasion of the parasite.
