[Surgical choices in the treatment of lung gangrene].
Patients with gangrene of the lung should be treated at a specialized thoracic department. Nonoperative treatment is justified only as preoperative management applied for no more than 2 weeks. Pneumonectomy is the operation of choice in gangrene of the lung. Pneumotomy may be conducted in patients who are in a very grave condition with respiratory and hemodynamic disorders.
