[Method of preparing a low-diaphragm flap].
Diaphragm flaps on the low diaphragm vessels cut by the method described were used in 39 patients for plasty of the stump of the main and lobe bronchus, tracheo-bronchial and inter-bronchial anastomosis, pericardium. In 38 (97.4%) out of 39 patients the diaphragm plasty proved to be effective, the mechanical and biological characteristics of the flap allowed the desired effect of plasty to be obtained. The method of cutting the low diaphragm flap used is simple, safe and allows the preparation of a good plasty material for different purposes in the thoracic surgery.
