“…[23] In cases where bronchiectasis has totally destroyed the lung parenchyma, pneumonectomy has proven to be the most effective way to manage related complications. [23,27] Pneumonectomy can be performed in children and yield acceptable rates of mortality and morbidity, [27] and this procedure can achieve satisfactory long-term survival in these patients. [27,28] Based on a 30-year observational study including 230 patients aged 2 to 40 years who underwent pneumonectomy demonstrated that, compared to the adults, children were able to tolerate pneumonectomy well and experienced less functional disability after this operation.…”

“…Benign lesion in our study, mostly destroyed lung, often associated with severe pleural adhesion caused by chronic pleurisy. What's more, the involved lung often complicated with inflammatory lung diseases such as bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, necrotizing pneumonia, lung abscesses, fungal infections, lung gangrene, bronchial stricture, congenital malformations, and mycobacterium infections other than tuberculosis (22). These repeated and chronic infections have made hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes calcification.…”

“…1 Literatürde harap akciğerin en yaygın sebebi olarak tüberküloz görülmek-tedir. 2,3 Bununla birlikte yaygın pulmoner süpürasyonlar da akciğer harabiyeti oluşturabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada harap akciğerli olgularda altta yatan hastalıklar, klinik özellikleri, tedavi biçimleri ve sonuçlarının literatür verileri ışığında değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.…”

“…Aynı zamanda çok ilaca dirençli tüberküloz olgularının büyük bir kısmın-da kalın duvarlı kaviteler ve harap olmuş lob veya akciğer-lerin bulunduğu bildirilmektedir. 2,12 Tüberküloz olgularında pnömonektomi en yüksek risk grubunu oluşturmaktadır. 13 Bu olgularda pnömonekto-mi sonrası artmış komplikasyon oranının üç ana sebebi vardır.…”
