Published: Reading: 1 min

Topic overview

This study examines nationwide practice variations in the surgical management of congenital lung malformations (CLMs) in infants across the United States.

Key takeaways

  • No standardized management protocols exist for congenital lung malformations (CLMs) in the United States.
  • Surgical timing for CLMs is determined by symptom severity, malignancy risk, and infection potential.
  • Significant practice variation exists across US institutions in the approach to infant CLM resection.
