Surgical treatment of bronchiectasis: Our 23 years of experience
Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the success of surgery
and a complete resection for bronchiectasis treatment and to present our
23 years of surgical experience.
Methods: Between January 1991 and December 2013, a total of 1,357
patients (667 males, 690 females; mean age 30.5 +/- 14.3 years; range, 3
to 73 years) with the diagnosis of bronchiectasis who underwent
pulmonary resection in our clinic were retrospectively analyzed.
Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, etiologies,
symptoms, localizations, surgical procedures, and long-term follow-up
results were evaluated.
Results: There were 1,394 surgeries, as 37 (2.7\%) patients had
bilateral disease. The surgical procedures included lobectomy (n=702,
50.3\%), pneumonectomy (n=183, 13.1\%), segmental resections (n=114,
8.2\%), bilobectomy (n= 83, 6.0\%), and lobectomy + segmentectomy
(n=312, 22.4\%). During the postoperative period, 1,269 (93.5\%)
patients were followed at a mean duration of 51.6 (range, 1 to 120)
months. After surgery, 774 (61\%) patients were asymptomatic, 456
(35.9\%) showed an improvement, and 39 (3.1\%) had no response or
deterioration.
Conclusion: The surgical treatment plays an important role in the
clinical and symptomatic improvement of patients with bronchiectasis.
Surgery reduces the morbidity and mortality rates with careful
preoperative preparation and appropriately selected cases
