[A method for airtight sealing of bronchial stump]
Abstract:
A new technique for airtight sealing of bronchial stump was employed for the first time in 5 patients with fibrocavemrnous tuberculosis complicated by pleural empyema. The mechanical stitch was covered with plastic material on a pedicle from a membranous part of the bronchus; it was buried and sealed with the help of penetrating interrupted sutures. Five patients with similar forms of pulmonary tuberculosis comprised the control group. The new method proved to be highly efficient, promoted early healing of the bronchus, and reduced the development ofbronchial fistulas especially in cases complicated by pleural empyema.
