[Indications for surgical treatment of chronic and encysted pleurisy].
If exudative pleurisy developed unfavourably with the formation of encystment, the development of massive pleural impositions, the deterioration of cardiorespiratory functional parameters, reparative operations, such as pleurectomy with decortication, were performed at month 3-4 of the onset of the disease with the minimum number of intra- and postoperative complications, with the more rapid and proper anatomic and functional recovery. Postoperative complications occurred in 75% of patients at months 1-2 of the disease, in 25-30% at months 5-12.
