Surgical treatment of children with a combination of congenital lung malformations and tuberculosis

Congenital malformations of the bronchopulmonary system in combination with tuberculosis are extremely rare in practice, but they usually require surgical treatment. This combination often causes diagnostic difficulties.

Characteristics of children and research methods. We have analyzed the experience of surgical treatment of a combination of various congenital lung defects and tuberculosis in 20 children. 9 (45%) children had lung sequestration, 4 (20%) children had lung hypoplasia, 5 (25%) children had congenital bronchiectasis, 1 (5%) child had arteriovenous malformation, and 1 (5%) child had a congenital lung cyst. There were 3 segmental resections, 15 lobeand bilobectomies, and 3 pneumonectomies. All surgeries were performed using minimally invasive approaches (VATS).

Results. 11 (55%) patients had diagnostic difficulties of concomitant pathology. Only in 5 (25%) cases they found mycobacteria in sputum before surgery. Postoperative study of material from tuberculous lesions helped to establish multidrug resistance of mycobacterium tuberculosis and to change the chemotherapy regimen in 3 (15%) patients. There were no postoperative complications or deaths. All surgeries were effective. Long-term results were studied in 16 (80%) of 20 patients over a period from 1 to 10 years. No cases of reactivation of tuberculosis or disability.

Conclusion. Resection surgery for combination of tuberculosis and congenital lung defects allowed to clarify the diagnosis and to achieve a direct effect in all patients by clarifying the drug resistance of mycobacterium tuberculosis and to optimize postoperative chemotherapy.
