    Journal: Zhonghua Jie He He Hu Xi Za Zhi; 1997 Aug; 20(4):231-3. PubMed ID: 10072810.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the appropriate diagnosis and treatment for tuberculous bronchostenosis patients who failed in anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. METHOD: The 46 patients with tuberculous bronchostenosis were treated with pneumonectomy and bronchoplasty. The latter included pulmonary lobectomy, wedge and sleeve resection of primary bronchus. RESULTS: All the patients showed sputum negative conversion and were cured without anastomotic fistulae, stenoses and other complications. CONCLUSIONS: Pneumonectomy is a routine treatment for tuberculous bronchostenosis, and bronchoplasty is a good method for treatment of the disease.
