Hello,
No, it is not true. In fact, surgery is indicated in a young patient with bronchiectasis. If your bronchiectasis is in the single lobe and your pulmonary function test (PFT) values are good, you are an ideal candidate for lobectomy (surgical removal of bronchitis part of the lung). So better to consult CVTS surgeon who does lung surgeries and discuss all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
