Among 255 patients with suppurative pulmonary diseases, aerosol therapy was performed preoperatively in 80 patients, complex sanation of bronchi--in 140, including 30--in association with visual sounding of segmental bronchi and intrapulmonary suppurative foci. As a result of complex sanation of bronchi, as compared with patients in whom no sanation was performed, or it was limited only by aerosol therapy, there was noted a reliable decrease in the number of postoperative pleural empyemas and bronchial fistulas, as well as an increase in the number of patients discharged with a recovery from 74.3% and 78.7% to 90%.
