Hiller, H. G. (1976) . Aust. paediat. J. , 12, 319–321. The radiological follow‐up of Aboriginal children with bronchiectasis treated surgically or medically. A review of the follow‐up chest X‐rays of aboriginal children who had undergone lobectomy for bronchiectasis was compared with the X‐rays of a similar group not submitted to surgery. Some 31% of the surgical group were found to have deteriorated radiographically, whereas the other group had radio‐graphically remained stable. The average period of follow‐up of the surgical group was 3–9 years compared with 3–8 years for the group treated medically.
