title: [New surgical tactics in the treatment of patients with complicated tuberculosis of the lungs and pleura].
abstract: Stepwise surgical tactics by using transsternal transepicardial preocclusion of the main bronchus and lung root vessels, opening of the empyema cavity and pneumotomy has been proposed to treat patients with progressive fibrocavernous tuberculosis complicated by pneumothorax and pleural empyema and extended into the thoracic wall. After 1.5-2 months the main stage of the operation, pleuropulmonectomy, is performed. Among the 25 patients operated on, the clinical effect was achieved in 15, 5 patients continued to take treatment, 5 patients died. The first results show that active care may be delivered to patients with complicated pulmonary and pleural tuberculosis who have recently had no hope to be recovered and the process be steady.
