[Thoracomyoplastic operations in the surgery of tuberculosis of the lungs]
Abstract:
Different variants of thoracomyoplasty were performed on 532 patients with fibrous-cavernous tuberculosis and tuberculous empyema of the pleura. Treatment outcomes have shown that the range of applications of thoracomyoplastic procedures is wide enough: (1) as an independent procedure; (2) as prevention of postresection complications; and (3) as one-stage method to eliminate caverns and empyemas in the presence of bronchial, esophageal, thoracic fistulas and defects of the chest wall. Improvement of the operative technique, application of new technical means enable one to increase the efficacy of surgical treatment of patients with common and complicated tuberculosis of the respiratory organs and chronic non-specific diseases of the lungs.
