title: [A 1-stage surgical treatment of bilateral bullous disease of the lungs using trans-sternal organ-preserving surgery].
abstract: Experience in the use of the trans-sternal approach in surgical treatment of bilateral bullous disease of the lungs in 16 cases is generalized. The results of organ-preserving operations in periods of 6 months are analysed. The technical aspects of surgery for bilateral bullous disease are discussed. Hemorrhage and paresis of the right diaphragmatic dome were the postoperative complications. There were no fatal outcomes. The experience of other surgeons on the treatment of this pathological condition is discussed.
