    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of surgical treatment of postlobectomy pulmonary aspergilloma. Between January 1986 and September 1999, six patients were surgically treated. Aspergilloma were diagnosed on the basis of the clinical and radiographic findings in all cases. All patients were poor pulmonary function. Space-reducing surgery was performed in 5 patients, completion pneumonectomy was performed in 1 patient. The reoperation was only one, the clinical impression of the cause was too difficult direct closure of the bronchial fistula due to formation of marginal fistula. We believe that space-reducing surgery for postlobectomy patients with pulmonary aspergilloma is useful and benefit treatment.
