TREATMENT OUTCOMES OF CYSTIC FORMS OF BRONCHOPULMONARY MALFORMATIONS IN CHILDREN

This study, conducted at Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute, analyzes treatment outcomes for cystic forms of bronchopulmonary malformations (CFBPM) in 106 children from 2006 to 2022. Surgical correction, the primary treatment, was performed in 86.8% of cases, with outcomes assessed as good (56.5%), satisfactory (32.6%), or unsatisfactory (10.9%). Two groups were compared: a comparison group (2006–2017) using conventional methods and a main group (2018–2022) with advanced diagnostics and thoracoscopic techniques. The main group showed improved outcomes, reducing unsatisfactory results from 20.5% to 9%, attributed to refined surgical and perioperative strategies. Watchful waiting was applied in asymptomatic cases, though optimal surgical timing remains debated, balancing early intervention with lung development.
