BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of surgery in the treatment of @entity7319 comparatively with @entity1538 . METHODS: From January 2006 to December 2014, 115 cases of @entity358 were admitted in our department. One operation on one side was counted as one case and the @entity1 were divided into two groups. In group A: 61 cases of @entity7319 . In group B: 50 @entity1 underwent 54 cases of lung resection for @entity1538 . @entity1 who underwent arteriography and embolization were excluded. Surgical treatment was indicated when 1) recurrent aspergilloma-related hemoptysis, 2) definite simple or @entity7319 and 3) a simultaneous @entity1621 . RESULTS: @entity1 with @entity7319 were big smokers with lower BMI, and had reduced lung function parameters. The main symptoms were repeated hemoptysis, chronic cough, abundant purulent expectoration and @entity1729 . Lobectomy was the most performed indication. In group B, number of wedge resections was larger than group A with statistical significant difference (p   =   0.001). In the post-operative course morbidity was higher in group A (16  %) vs (9  %) in group B with statistical difference (p   =   0.026). The median follow-up was 30  months (range 19-52 months). The median duration of chest tube drainage was 4  days. The duration of chest tube drainage was longer in the group A (4.7        1.4 versus 2.9        1.3; p   =   0.005). The prolonged postoperative air leakage occurred more frequently in group A (14.75  %; versus 1.8  % p   =   0.015). In group A, 3 cases and 2 in group B underwent a secondary operation for post operative hemothorax. @entity292 occurred exclusively in group A (n   =   4). CONCLUSIONS: The surgical resection should be used in a multidisciplinary approach. Preoperative Interventional therapies could optimize the conditions for the operation. Total surgical resection must be the treatment of choice of localized causative lesions.
