I have pulmonary sequestration, I am 54 years old, it is located on my lower left lung. One professor is anti operation as he states
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. If pulmonary sequestration is an accidental finding without any symptoms then nothing should be done. But if recurrent pneumonia, non resolving pneumonia at same sites occur then surgically removal of sequestered lung is the treatment of choice. It is similar to lobectomy surgery. No post-operative or long term complications of this surgery. So in your case, surgery is indicated. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
