title: [Surgical results in bronchiectasis in adults].
abstract: The data of a complex examination of 180 adults with bronchiectases were analysed before operation and in later periods. The study comprises clinical, roentgenological and endoscopic examinations, the investigation of the ventilatory function and of the haemodynamic of the pulmonary circuit. It could be shown, that actually patients with small more blurred forms of disease are predominant. After surgical treatment, in most cases the state of health condition had substantially improved or had remained the same as before operation. The elimination of the pathological suppurative focus in the lung brought on a stabilisation of the pulmonary artery pressure, in a third of the patients operated even a decrease of the pressure down to normal values. The preservation of the superior segment of the lower lobe was of positive influence on the adaption of the architectonic of the bronchial tree. The functional parameters after such operations were the best in comparison to other kinds of pulmonary resection.
