A Case of Bronchial Foreign Body which required Left upper Lobectorny

The patient was introduced to our hospital by another physician about 1.5 months after he had swallowed foreign bodies by mistake. Removal of the foreign bodies was unsuccessfully tried using hard specula and bronchial fiberscope under general anesthesia. Resection of the left upper lobe was inevitably carried out because of irreversible changes in the pulmonary parenchyma. The experience in the case of old bronchial foreign bodies in the left upper lobe is reported.
