ABSTRACT

There are few reports referring to the indications and outcomes of surgery for nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD) in the elderly. We retrospectively reviewed 17 cases of NTM-LD in 16 patients aged 70 years and older who had undergone adjuvant surgical treatment. One segmentectomy, eight lobectomies, and eight extensive resections had been performed, and one patient had undergone a two-stage bilateral resection. Eight patients who had had respiratory symptoms preoperatively showed improvement in all cases postoperatively. There were no postoperative deaths, three (17.6%) postoperative complications, and two (11.8%) postoperative recurrences. If the patient can tolerate surgery, the indications for surgery are the same as for younger patients, and surgical treatment of NTM-LD in the elderly is safe and effective.
