Assess management strategies for recurrent hepatic hydatid disease presenting with biliptysis and suspected bronchobiliary fistula.
Right posterolateral thoracotomy performed to explore cysts and possible fistula.
Right lower lobe wedge resection executed due to erosion into lung parenchyma.
Diaphragmatic cysts evacuated and repaired during surgery.
Bile-stained fluid containing hydatid membranes was found at the fistulous site.
No communication with the main bronchus was identified during surgery.
Successful evacuation of multiple cysts and repair of diaphragm achieved.
