I have the same doubts. In my case the parts to be removed, however, would be two: the Lingula and the middle lobe. I have read a lot about this and unfortunately surgery does not guarantee that there are no recurrence, indeed the recurrence rate remains high, especially if other lesions /bronchiectasis remain. In addition, the risks of surgery are high, mortality is 1% as the complications rate (fistulas, pneumothorax, infections) and I would not like to find myself managing even greater problems than I have now. The prospect of solving the disease was very tempting but I fear it is not a way to go, at least in my case
