Hi well come to HCM.
Since your husband is having repeated haemoptysis chances of having large or multiple
cavities are there and at times if very large episode of haemoptysis occures there is
risk to life as well.When too much of lung parenchyma are destroyed and total cure is
not possible mwdically surgical intervention is done to prevent repeate haemoptysis
and cure the patient of tuberculosis other wise repeated chances of recurrece amd
relapse are there.They may advise you lobectomy where part of destroyed lung is removed or at times if extensive involvement total involved lung is removed. They will
do surgery only if there is absolute need for it.So leave it to treating doctors. thanks

hi
recurrent hemoptysis is usually associated with large cavities.
Pneumonectomy, lobectomynand segmentectomy or wedge resection might be done.
surgery will always be associated with some amount of risks, but doctors will decide for the surgery only when it is absolutely needed.
