Abstract:
The main surgical approaches to the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis were developed and introduced into surgical practice in the 60s of the last century. However, epidemiological changes and new medical technologies justify advisability of further improvement of surgical management of pulmonary tuberculosis. Computed tomography with 3D-nodeling and preoperative planning are valuable to analyze spread of pathological process and visualize pulmonary structures for improvement of surgical treatment.
