[Surgical treatment of cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis]
Abstract:
Analysis is given of the results of a surgical treatment of 75 patients with cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis that was characterized by the prevalence of pathomorphological features (79%) of the process development. It is shown that signs of chemotherapy inefficiency can be established as early as 4-6 months after the treatment of destructive tuberculosis was begun. The distinguishing features of surgical interventions during this period comprise a small volume of resection, minimal intraoperative blood loss and little time spent on the operation. These interventions have high effectiveness (98.7%) in the absence of fatal outcomes and can be recommended for wide use in the practice of antituberculosis therapeutic institutions.
