The authors present their experience on, 1168 operated patients with hepato-pulmonary hydatid disease. In a long work with hydatid disease the authors refused many earlier methods, as mistake. The authors think that great radical surgery in the treatment of the hydatid disease is not justified. For success in treatment of hydatid disease it's necessary to operate on the parasite and it's consequences, to keep the function of the organ to prevent contamination of the environment, and to make conditions for fast reduction of peri-cystic cavity.
