The prevention of the spread od hydatid fluid with the help of a double aspirating funnel during surgery echinococcus. With this work we introduce to the number and importance of the appearance of secondary postoperative echinococcus (s.p.e.). In this work the possibility has been proved of spreading echinococcus fluid and the scolises into the surrounding operative field in the case of the classical method being used. In attempting to reduce the number of s.p.e. we constructed a unit which we apply during operation for echinococcus, to the surface of the infective organ with the aid of a vacuum which is developed with an aspirator. In this way we prevent the spread of echinococcus fluid and scolices. Through this unit we perform a puncture of the cysts, extraction of the hydatid membrane and the cleansing of the pericystic space with scolistogenic fluid. Our double aspiratory funnel we have had in use successfully for a few years nou during the performance or operation for echinococcus of lungs and liver.
