“…Akbari et al [ 9 ] and Kim et al [ 11 ] do not employ primary thoracoplasty or latissimus dorsi muscle flaps. Park and Jheon [ 10 ], Endo et al [ 14 , 15 ] and Babatashi et al [ 16 ] perform concomitant thoracoplasty in some cases to prevent space problems, and the possible development of empyema, if a large volume of dead space is encountered. Chen et al [ 17 ] use additional surgical procedures such as pleural tenting and partial thoracoplasty to avoid prolonged air leaks or residual space, sometimes clamping the phrenic nerve to induce temporary paralysis in patients with good lung function.…”

“…It is categorized as moderately invasive disease between saprophytic colonization in the pre-existing cavity and invasive aspergillosis in immune-compromised patients. Although surgery has proved to be the best treatment for pulmonary aspergillosis, with the highest chance of achieving complete remission, techniques are difficult in patients with complex aspergillosis [1,2]. Surgical outcome is reported to carry high morbidity and mortality rates due to various factors, such as severe intrathoracic adhesion, destruction of the lung, restricted thoracic space and hyper-vascularized arteries.…”
