摘要
Chronic inflammatory lung disease is a common ,health problem and often treated with potent antibiotics, anti-tuberculosis drugs, and antifungal agents. However, in case of medical therapy failure, surgical treatment has been often considered as an effective procedure. Indications for surgical procedure mainly include recurrent infection, acute suppurative complications including lung abscess and empyema, and often chronic, intermittent, or massive hemoptysis.1 Segmentectomy or lobectomy is considered as an ＂ideal＂ procedure when the disease is localized to one lung and single segment or lobe.
