About residual cavity in complicated and noncomplicated hydatid cysts and capitonnage there is controversy. The aim of this study is to comparison advantages of capitonnage and non-capitonnage in the complicated hydatid cystof the lung because there is not enough research in this issue. This study is a retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study that was done on patient with impending to perforation and complicated pulmonary hydatid cyst. Demographic information consist of: age, sex, home place, career contact with livestock and clinical data consist of: Hospital stay, complications and mortality was noted. All data analyzed with SPSS. In our study was surveyed 75 patient in tow group with Capitonnage (CTG) (36) and Uncapitonnage (UCTG) (39). Mean age and standard deviation in (CTG) was (30±17.1) years and patient (UCTG) was (37.3±18.5) years. There were not significantly different between number of gender in 2 groups (p = 0.08). Hospital stay in our study in (UCTG) was 6.49±1.05 and in (CTG) 3+0.75±0.65 (p<0.0001). Post-operative broncho pleural fistula in (CTG) was 8.3% and in (UCTG) was 23.1 (p = 0.48 ) and post-operative air leak in (UCTG) was 25.6% and in (CTG) was 8.3% (p = 0.48). Mean average day for removal chest-tube in (UCTG) was 4.6 ± 0.99 day and in (CTG) was 2.64±0.59 day (p<0.0001) and also cumulating the fluid in cavity in (UCTG) was 3.79±0.61 and in (CTG) was 1.61± 0.49 month (p<0.0001). Post-operative air leak in (UCTG) was 25.6% and in (CTG) was 8.3% (p = 0.48). Mortality was not seen in two groups. Our study shows that capitonnage have less post-operative complications than uncapitonnage and is preferred method in surgery of complicated pulmonary hydatid cyst.} }
