Does bronchiectasis require surgery? Why?

Some friends have some misunderstandings about bronchiectasis, thinking that this disease must be treated surgically, but this is not the case. For some stable bronchiectasis, surgical treatment is not necessary and can be slowly managed through medication and diet.

1. Whether there is a history of hemoptysis should be considered. Some so-called "dry bronchiectasis" usually do not have many symptoms of lung infection, but may suddenly cough up hemoptysis. Severe hemoptysis is life-threatening. In the long run, the best treatment for severe or recurrent hemoptysis is surgery.

2. Whether there are symptoms and the severity of the symptoms, whether there is a history of recurrent lung infections, the number of attacks and the effectiveness of treatment. If the symptoms are mild and the infection is easy to control, medical treatment can be used, otherwise surgery should be considered.

3. The scope of the lesion is one of the most important factors in determining internal and external surgery treatment. Localized lesions can be removed, while more extensive lesions may vary in severity in different parts of the body, so it depends on the specific situation.

4. General condition and presence of other lesions. If bronchiectasis is caused by blockage by a benign tumor, resection is mainly for the treatment of the tumor. If bronchiectasis is caused by pulmonary tuberculosis, the tuberculosis lesions are mostly stable at this time and no surgery is required.

Whether bronchiectasis requires surgery depends on the patient's condition. Not all patients with bronchiectasis can be treated with surgery, and surgical treatment will cause great trauma to the patient's body, so it is not recommended for patients. Our hospital's 4S lung clearing and asthma relief therapy is effective and can quickly and effectively cure bronchiectasis.
