Abstract

Objective: Pulmomary resection (PR) is considered a potentially curative option for treatment-refractory non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. This study reports and evaluates the clinical outcomes of four bronchiectasis patients treated at a Pulmonology Outpatient Clinic in southern Brazil between 2018 and 2019 who underwent PR. We also discuss the impact of the surgery on their quality of life and prognosis.
