Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Aspergilloma is considered the most frequent and most easily recognized clinical form of pulmonary aspergillosis. It is most frequent tuberculosis that predisposes to aspergilloma. Aim: This study is a retrospective study aimed at evaluating the complications between the parenchyma-preserving surgery and lobectomy while dealing with pulmonary aspergilloma patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 146 patients underwent surgery for pulmonary aspergilloma at growth releasing hormone Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Department, Madurai. The patient’s records were retrieved and 60 cases were studied with reference to clinical profi le, radiological fi ndings, and indications for surgery. Results: Mortality rate is 2.8% in lobectomy and 0% in cavernostomy. 31% morbidity in post-lobectomy versus 4% morbidity in the post-cavernostomy group. Conclusion: Parenchyma-preserving surgery can be carried out to treat pulmonary aspergilloma with negligible mortality and morbidity.
