| Popis: | A series of 30 bronchiectatic patients, treated by bilateral resection of 11, 12, or 13 lung segments, has been followed up for 30 years. The progress of the patients is analyzed and the results of treatment are evaluated. Ten patients required further resections for persisting collapse, kinking of the apical segment of a lower lobe, or because the previous resection had been too limited. The long-term results of these extensive bilateral resections in our group of patients are excellent The quantitative function, more than 20 years after the last resection, lies markedly above the predicted value for the number of remaining segments. The qualitative function did not deteriorate over the years. It is clear that extensive bilateral bronchiectasis does not, per se, constitute a contraindication to resection, provided that at least six normal segments can be preserved. |
