[Application of simultaneous surgeries in patients with extended pulmonary tuberculosis]
Abstract:
The treatment of extended pulmonary tuberculosis, resistant to antibacterial preparations, constitutes extremely complex problem. The author proposes to apply simultant pulmonary resection and intrapleural thoracoplasty, the simple one or extended, for the treatment of those patients. There were studied up the results of treatment of 401 patients, simultant interventions were used in 134. Analysis of the data obtained permits to consider the operation as the curative-prophylactic one. The indications for application of every variant of intervention were determined, what have had significantly increased the possibilities of treatment of extended pulmonary tuberculosis.
