During an 8-year period 78 patients underwent operation for chronic destructive pneumonia (CDP) at Wentworth Hospital. The indications for operative treatment are described and the results of treatment presented. Of the 78 patients, 12 died during or after operation and 27 developed postoperative complications which required further surgical intervention. This high morbidity and mortality rate is contrasted with results achieved in the operative treatment of bronchiectasis and pulmonary tuberculosis. The complications are caused by haemorrhage and by pleural or pulmonary infection. Control of infective complication depends on the elucidation of the aetiology of CDP.
在8年期间，78例患者在温特沃斯医院接受了慢性破坏性肺炎（CDP）手术。文中描述了手术治疗的适应症并给出了治疗结果。78例患者中，12例在手术期间或术后死亡，27例出现术后并发症，需要进一步手术干预。这种高发病率和死亡率与支气管扩张症和肺结核手术治疗的结果形成对比。并发症由出血以及胸膜或肺部感染引起。感染性并发症的控制取决于对CDP病因的阐明。
