Unilobar Tuberculosis Treated by Lobectomy

ROBERT D. DUNCAN M.D., F.A.C.S.1 and WAYNE W. CARPENTER M.D.1

1 Surgeon, U.S.P.H.S. Springfield, Missouri

1. Five consecutive cases of unilobar tuberculosis treated by lobectomy are presented with follow-up data.

2. The classification of patients with minimal lesions into different groups is mentioned. The value of careful selection of patients for lobectomy is considered and the criteria for this selection outlined.

3. The possible advantage of lobectomy in selected cases is discussed and compared with other methods of treatment.

4. It is felt that lobectomy has a place in the treatment of early tuberculosis, although a larger series of cases will be required to substantiate this fully.
