Abstract
The long-term outcomes of patients operated on for MAC resistant to antimicrobial chemotherapy were excellent. For such patients, we recommend surgery before the disease becomes exceedingly advanced and nonresectable. Additionally, in extensive disease, the excision of large cavitary bacterial foci may assist the medical management of contralateral lesions.
