title: Video-assisted thoracoscopic double lobectomy for bronchiectasis: a case report and literature review.
abstract: Although thoracoscopic lobectomy for severe bronchiectasis has been reported in children, this is the first report of double lobectomy of the right middle and lower lobes performed using the video-assisted thoracoscopy in a 9-year-old girl. The post-operative course was uneventful and she is currently well after 18 months' follow-up.
