title: [Results of surgical treatment of generalized emphysema of the lungs].
abstract: An analysis of examination and treatment results was made in 123 patients with generalized emphysema of the lungs and respiratory failure of II-III degree. The patients were divided into two groups according to the age: younger than 40 years old (group A - 9 patients),40 years old and older (group B - 114). A surgical reduction of lung volume was performed to correct the respiratory failure in 69 patients. The rate of postoperative complications consisted of 14.7% in group A and it was 42.2% in group B.
