“…Similar to previous studies, we confirmed the importance of residual lesions after surgery [ 17 , 33 , 34 ]. The most common radiographic feature of residual lesions was non-cavitary nodular bronchiectatic (69.6%), followed by cavitary nodular bronchiectatic (21.7%) and fibrocavitary pattern (2.2%).…”

“…But, as Yamada and colleagues suggested [ 34 ] and our result underscores, extensive resection that minimizes residual lesion may be required for proper disease control. As Togo and colleagues emphasized [ 33 ], more study regarding acceptable extent of remnant lesions after surgery may be necessary.…”

“…This may be due to differences in the size and composition of the study population. However, we con rmed the importance of residual lesions after surgery [17,32,33]. Most patients in our study underwent surgery in order to minimize the mycobacterial burden in otherwise palliative setting.…”

“…About 43% of patients in the present series had no preoperative clinical symptoms, which may explain why lung resection did not affect the non-mental components of HRQOL. Postoperative management of NTM-PD generally requires continuation of the same multidrug regimen used preoperatively, and it is recommended that patients receive chemotherapy for at least 1 year after conversion to a negative culture [23]. The continuation of chemotherapy may contribute to a lack of improvement in HRQOL after lung resection.…”
