Lung volume reduction surgery, resecting the most severely affected regions of emphysema, was designed to improve quality of life for selected patients with severe emphysema. We report a case of a 72 year old severe emphysema patient who received bilateral lung volume reduction surgery and showed marked improvement of quality of life and lung function.
