[Speleoplasty, a possible alternative in the surgical treatment of cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis].
Speleoplasty is a method of surgical treatment of cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis. The proposed surgical procedure differs from thoracoplasty and from pulmonary resection by a direct approach of the pulmonary cavernae. Speleoplasty is a simple, reliable technique, reducing significantly the surgical time as well as the operatory and post-operatory strike risks. This procedure does not diminish the respiratory surface and preserves the architecture of the thorax wall by keeping the anatomical integrity of the pulmonary parenchyma and of the thorax.
