Follow-up studies of 22 patients treated surgically for unilateral bronchiectasis showed that all patients were improved postoperatively following an average observation time of 9 years, 50% being completely free of respiratory symptoms. In all patients the number of days of recurrent illness had declined significantly after surgery. As mortality and morbidity rates in this kind of surgery are not negligible, a most careful pre-operative selection of patients suffering from bronchiectasis is indicated.
对22例接受单侧支气管扩张手术治疗的患者进行的随访研究表明，所有患者在平均9年的观察期后术后均有改善，50%的患者完全没有呼吸道症状。所有患者术后复发疾病的天数均显著减少。由于这类手术的死亡率和发病率不可忽视，因此对支气管扩张患者进行最仔细的术前评估是必要的。
