A study of 22 patients with pulmonary wounds has confirmed the advantages of the traditional therapeutic attitude adopted in the majority of cases, and the rare indications requiring urgent or early operation for pulmonary lesions. Hunting gun pulmonary wounds, in which there is predominant "contusion" require individual treatment, and in 2 of the 4 cases treated in this serie, secondary excision was necessary.
