BACKGROUND: This retrospective study was designed to study the clinical profile, indications, @entity260 and long-term outcome of @entity358 operated in our institute. METHODS: From 1985 to 2003, 60 @entity1 underwent surgery for @entity358 at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology. RESULTS: The group consisted of 36 male @entity1 and 24 female @entity1 with a mean age of 42.7 +/- 11.8 years. The most common indication for surgery was @entity5492 (93.3%). The common underlying @entity358 were @entity378 (45%), @entity4595 (28.3%), and @entity1997 (11.6%). Fourteen @entity1 (23%) had @entity1538 ( @entity1538 ) and 46 (77%) had @entity7319 ( @entity7319 ). The procedures performed were lobectomy (n = 55), pneumonectomy (n = 2), segmental resection (n = 2), and cavernoplasty (n = 2). One @entity1 underwent bilateral lobectomy at 14 months interval. The operative mortality was 4.3% and 0% in @entity7319 and @entity1538 , respectively (p = 1.0). Major complications occurred in 26.1% @entity1 of @entity7319 , whereas none occurred in @entity1538 (p = 0.052). The complications included @entity548 (n = 2), prolonged air leak (n = 4), @entity3509 (n = 4), repeated pneumothorax (n = 1), and wound @entity6783 (n = 1). Three @entity1 needed thoracoplasty. The mean follow-up period was 40 +/- 24 months. The actuarial survival at 10 years was 78% and 92% for @entity7319 and @entity1538 , respectively. There was no recurrence of disease or @entity5492 . CONCLUSIONS: Surgical resection of @entity358 prevents recurrence of @entity5492 . Complex aspergilloma resection was associated with low mortality but significant morbidity, whereas @entity1538 had no associated early mortality and morbidity. Long-term outcome is good for @entity1538 and satisfactory for @entity7319 .
