[Surgical treatment in intrapulmonary metastases].
An experience with treatment of 35 patients with pulmonary metastases from different tumors is described. In all, 45 surgical interventions were performed which included bilateral operations and reoperations. At the postoperative period complications were observed in 5 cases (14.7%). There were no lethal outcomes after operations. Long-term results of the surgical treatment of patients with pulmonary metastases considerably differed from those observed in patients with primary lung cancer. If there is no recurrent tumor, no distant metastases of another localization and the patient's condition is estimated as satisfactory, the surgical intervention is thought to be a valuable method of treatment for pulmonary metastases.
