A number of methods have been described for the surgical removal of hydatid cysts of the lung. Personal experience of the Barrett technique (Barrett and Thomas, 1952) over a number of years has made it abundantly clear that the method is widely applicable, involves the loss of no appreciable pulmonary tissue or function, and is eminently safe and free of risk of contamination of the pleural space. The technique is ideal for enucleation of all uncomplicated pulmonary hydatid cysts, even of the largest size, and after obliteration of the remaining cavity the inflated lobe looks normal. The method was therefore used wherever applicable in the present series, comprising patients treated between 1961 and 1968. The results have been compared with those of a group of patients treated in the same unit between 1952 and 1960. It is recommended that lobectomy be reserved for complicated cysts where infection has produced a chronic lung abscess or bronchiectasis, and rarely for the very largest uncomplicated cysts. All simple cysts should be enucleated by the Barrett technique.
已经描述了多种用于手术切除肺包虫囊肿的方法。多年来对巴雷特技术（巴雷特和托马斯，1952年）的个人经验充分表明，该方法具有广泛的适用性，不会造成明显的肺组织或功能损失，而且非常安全，没有胸膜腔污染的风险。该技术是摘除所有非复杂性肺包虫囊肿（即使是最大尺寸的囊肿）的理想方法，在封闭剩余腔隙后，膨胀的肺叶看起来正常。因此，在本系列研究（包括1961年至1968年接受治疗的患者）中，只要适用就采用该方法。已将结果与1952年至1960年在同一科室接受治疗的一组患者的结果进行了比较。建议肺叶切除术仅用于感染已导致慢性肺脓肿或支气管扩张的复杂性囊肿，对于非常大的非复杂性囊肿很少使用。所有单纯性囊肿均应采用巴雷特技术摘除。
