title: [Study of the indications for surgical treatment of pleuropulmonary tuberculosis at the present time].
abstract: On a large personal experience basis the authors discuss the present stage of surgical treatment of pleuropulmonary tuberculosis. Stress is laid on the fact that, owing to technical surgical progress and continuous improving of equipments in the thoracic surgery departments, practically there are no contraindications for surgical treatment of pleuropulmonary tuberculosis provided the functional lung and heart parameters are satisfactory. It is emphasized too the requirement of a timely indication for surgery in cases of chemotherapy failures, prior to lung and heart function impairment.
