Abstract

The middle lobe is usually a part of the right lung as it is tri-lobar in normal anatomy. In patients with Kartagener's syndrome, the middle lobe belongs to the left lung due to situs inversus. They are prone to develop bronchiectasis due to ciliary dyskinesia and bronchial anatomy of the middle lobe. We hereby report an interesting case of left middle lobectomy done in a patient with Kartagener's syndrome with bronchiectasis.
