title: [Surgical methods on the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases and intrathoracic adenopathies].
abstract: The efficiency of surgical methods for diagnosis of unclear cases of pulmonary interstitial diseases and intrathoracic adenopathies in 136 patients over 5.5 years was analyzed. A high percentage (45.7%) of discrepancies was found in the clinical and conclusive diagnosis in patients undergone test therapy when the diagnosis was unclear over 2 months. The efficiency of surgical diagnostic methods was 90-97.6%.
