5. Surgery of congenital broncheectases in children and adults
Downloads
Abstract
The overwhelming majority of thoracic and pediatric surgeons are of the opinion that it is necessary to perform early surgeries for congenital bronchiectasis, since bronchial dilatation leads to infection of bronchial contents and repeated exacerbations of the inflammatory process, but some pediatricians express a reserved attitude to operations in childhood, adhering to long-term follow-up tactics. Purpose. To present statistical data on the situation of patients with congenital bronchiectasis of different age categories and to offer separate recommendations for the treatment and diagnosis of patients with congenital bronchiectasis.
Material and methods. 433 patients with congenital bronchiectasis were operated in our clinic, which was 50.9% of all congenital lung malformations. The patients’ age ranged from 2 to 65 years. There were more children and adolescents (60.9%) than adults (39.1%).
Results. The article presents the results of diagnostics and surgical treatment of 433 patients with congenital bronchiectasis. It was found that the immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of children are better than those of adult patients.

Good results (practical recovery) were observed in 63.8% of children, which is significantly higher than the results of surgical treatment of adult patients (Р<0,05). All unsatisfactory results observed in patients with bilateral lesions and residual bronchiectasis in the operated lung.
