[Combined use of low-frequency ultrasound and photodynamic therapy in the prevention of postoperative pleural empyema].
Results of surgical treatment of 20 patients with malignant lung tumors operated in N.N. Burdenko faculty surgical clinic were analyzed. The authors have developed the method of prophylaxis of acute postoperative pleural empyemas patented in Russian Federation. This method is: after main stage of operation (lob- or pneumonectomy) pleural cavity in filled with antiseptic solutions (furacillin 1:5000, 0.02% chlorgexidin). 5 ml of photosense (sulfured ftalocyanin of aluminium) were injected in pleural cavity, after it pleural cavity is treated by low-frequency ultrasound. After it the antiseptic is removed and pleural cavity is irradiated by red light with use of KAMIN-VIDEO lamp. In all the 20 operated patients who had undergone sanation of pleural cavity by low-frequency ultrasound and it irradiation by KAMIN-VIDEO lamp the postoperative period was uncomplicated.
