Bronchial division in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Bronchial division was carried out in seven patients with tuberculosis for whom no other procedure was feasible. Results were good in three cases. Complications developed in another case but the ultimate result was expected to be good. Two patients died. One had spread of disease and recanalization of the bronchus.
