CRITERIA OF SURGICAL RISK IN PATIENTS WITH DIFFUSE LUNG EMPHYSEMA WITH LARGE AND GIANT BULLAS
Abstract:
The article presents an assessment of postoperative period in patients with diffuse lung emphysema with large and giant bullas on the basis of surgical risk criteria, which were developed for the patients with diffuse emphysema without bullas. Retrospective study determined the group of patients who had high rate of surgical complications after bullectomy. The patients (46) were divided into 2 groups and it depended on the initial condition of the patients. There was stated, that the main criterion of surgical risk was a decrease of the level of OFL lower than 20% of the proper level in patients with large and giant bullas.
