Abstract:
1. 273 cases consisting of 97 cases of thoracoplasty, 145 cases of lung resection and 31 cases of lung resection with thoracoplasty were followed up post-operatively 1-5 years.2. Failure was 22.6% in thoracoplasty, 13.1% in lung resection (12.7% in pneumonectomy, 8.9% in lobectomy, and lobectomy with segmentectomy, and 22.2% in segmentectomy) 25.7% in concomitant thoracoplasty.3. Failure was more prominent in cases of more than 2 cavity, big size of the cavity and resistant bacilli in thoracoplasty. About same indication except bacilli sensitivity was applied to resection. particularly in lobectomy and segmentectomy. However, the cases of concomittant thoracoplasty showed almost opposite result. Preoperative irregular chemotherapy was one of prominent factors of failure in all kinds of surgery but others were insignificant except above-mentioned factors.
