title: [Extrapleural thoracoplasty as an alternative to pulmonectomy].
abstract: Basing on the literature data, negative tendency for the modern tuberculosis course was substantiated. The main causes of conservative treatment failures for chronic and aged forms of tuberculosis were shown. The data concerning the surgical treatment character change for pulmonary tuberculosis, from resection toward thoracoplasty, were adduced. The authors consider extrapleural thoracoplasty as an alternative to pulmonectomy.
