  • Title: [Bullous emphysema of the lung (our experience)].
    Author: Montresor E, Fichera M, Bertrand C, Abrescia F, Modena S, Briani F, Puchetti V.
    Journal: Chir Ital; 1989; 41(4-6):180-91. PubMed ID: 2701738.
    Abstract:
    Ten patients (9 males and 1 female; mean age: 44.8 yrs) with bullous lung disease were treated. Frequent patient-history findings were smoking and spontaneous pneumothorax. Nine cases were treated surgically either by bullectomy or atypical resection. In one case, an attempt at endobullous aspiration failed owing to the patient's very poor general condition. Among the postoperative complications in three cases we observed difficult pulmonary re-expansion and infection of the surgical wound with consequent pleural empyema in another.
