Background.
Surgery for pulmonary aspergilloma (PA), especially complex forms, is greatly challenging in a resource-poor setting such as Cameroon.
We report our experience of surgical management of PA in this environment.
Method.
We prospectively assessed patients who underwent surgery for PA from January 2012 to May 2015, at the University Hospital Center of Yaoundé.
Records were reviewed for demographics, history and physical examinations, radiological findings, surgical procedures, and outcomes.
The study has received approval from the institutional ethics committees.
Results.
In total, 20 patients (17 males and 3 females (sex ratio, 5.66); mean age, 30 years; range, 23–65 years) with a past history of tuberculosis were assessed.
The median follow-up was 21.5 months.
The primary symptom was hemoptysis, followed by cough and chest pain.
All patients underwent surgical treatment and lung resection.
Postoperative complications (bleeding, air leak, empyema, and severe anemia) occurred in 4 patients and 1 patient died.
Although 3 patients were lost to follow-up, the survival rate was 80% with improvement of the preoperative symptoms.
Conclusion.
Although surgery for complex aspergilloma is very challenging in environments such as ours, we believe that it is the best treatment modality for symptomatic diseases in our setting.
