title: [Results of the surgical treatment of progressive fibrous-cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: The immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of 162 patients with fibrocavernous pulmonary tuberculosis are described. In addition to resection interventions, the Novisibirsk Tuberculosis Research Institute developed and put into practice collapso-surgical techniques and those of a direct impact on a lung cavern. When operating 5 patients, an artificial therapeutic pneumothorax was applied to the opposite lung. All that ensured a complete clinical wellbeing in 80.8% of the cases judging by the results of their long-term follow-up. Unsatisfactory condition persisted in 8.1% of the cases, and 11.1% of the above patients died. Proper choice of surgical intervention in a specific case made it possible to decrease the associated risk and increase the surgical treatment efficiency to a great extent.
