title: [Application of pneumoperitoneum in collapse surgical procedures during tuberculosis outbreak].
abstract: Under conditions of tuberculosis epidemic resective methods come to be used more and more seldom, the causes of which fact being resistance of Koch's bacilli to antibacterial drugs, extension and duration of the process. Collapsosurgical interventions constitute an alternative to resecting methods but such operations are accompanied by complications in 11 to 22 percent of cases. The author suggests that pneumoperitoneum be used to prevent complications developing in thoracoplasty, substantiating his suggestion, validating it by submitting the relevant statistical material.
