[Surgical treatment for respiratory organ fistulas]
Abstract:
The paper pools the experience accumulated since 1965 at the Russian Surgery Research Center, Russian Academy of Medical Science, in treating 185 patients with respiratory organ fistulas. Medical and surgical treatments were performed in 23 and 162 patients, respectively. Radical operations were made in 124 patients, palliative ones in 38. The radical operation is to disconnect organs, by suturing the fistulous opening. If there were irreversible changes in the organs, their resection was simultaneously made. Palliative operations were performed as an auxiliary intervention before or during a radical operation. A palliative operation as an independent intervention was made only in a patient's severe general condition or in purulent fistulous complications. The findings suggest that radical surgery is the method of choice in the treatment of patients with respiratory organ fistulas.
