[Several problems of pathogenesis and treatment of pulmonary gangrene].
The pathology and clinical picture of gangrene of the lungs were studied in detail in 213 patients in the specialized surgical department of the clinic of hospital surgery of the Kirov Military-Medical Academy from 1969 to 1987. The diffuse from of the disease (DLG) was encountered in 111 patients and the localized form (LLG) in 102 patients. The indications for various methods of treatment of lung gangrene are formulated. Lung resection was performed most frequently (in 67% of patients). Intensive preoperative therapy including hyperbaric oxygenation is necessary for most patients with gangrene of the lungs. Total mortality was 39.6% among patients with DLG and 16.6% among those with LLG. Mortality among patients with DLG after resection of the lungs was 34.1%. Study of the late-term results showed that 130 (61%) patients were alive, 64 (30%) had died from the main disease and its complications and 7 (3.5%) from other causes, the fate of 12 (5.7%) persons was not known.
