[CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ANATOMICAL PECULIARITIES OF THE INTERMEDIATE BRONCHUS RAMIFICATION WHILE PERFORMANCE OF
Abstract:
Different variants of the bronchial structures transsection, depending on peculiarities of the intermediate bronchus ramification, are possible while performance of typical resection of lower lobe of the right lung. Clinical significance and criteria of the intraoperative tactics choice in performance of typical lower lobectomy were studied. Trustworthy best results of separate transsection of apical segmental bronchus of lower lobe and of the basal bronchus in a cruciform ramification of intermediate bronchus were noted.
