title: [Role of endoscopic sanitation in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases].
abstract: The results of conducted investigations and experience of bronchoscopy (more than 1500 per year) confirm that use of endoscopic sanitation in treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases sufficiently improves the function of external breathing, speeds-up recovery of patient and extends remission. We consider that chronic obstructivepulmonary disease (COPD) is an indication for medical-and-diagnostic fibrobronchoscopy.
