Lung resection in cystic fibrosis patients with localised pulmonary disease

J Lucas et al. Arch Dis Child. 1996 May.

Abstract

The results of lobar resection to treat severe localised bronchiectasis in six children with cystic fibrosis are described. Sustained clinical improvements occurred in children undergoing this surgical approach to treatment. Detailed assessment and intensive preoperative and postoperative medical treatment are essential to a favourable outcome in carefully selected patients.
