[Changes in lung function after lung resection in childhood].
38 children and young adults were followed up 2-24 years after lung resection. A significant correlation between lung function studied by bodyplethysmography and the number of lungsegments resected was found. However, there was no correlation between either the age at operation, the kind of underlaying disease or the resected area and the postoperative lungfunction on the other hand.
