[Selection of a method and surgical tactics in late repeated operations on the lungs and pleura]. / Vybor metoda i khirurgicheskaia tekhnika pozdnykh povtornykh operatsii na legkikh i plevre.

The experience with the surgical treatment of 97 patients subjected to late repeated operations on the lungs and pleura is generalized in this work. 68% of these patients had pleural empyema and bronchial fistulae. The authors prefer the radical surgery to pulmonectomy, pleuropulmonectomy, decortication, lung resection and repeated amputation of the main bronchus. Fatality in the late repeated operations was noted in 3.09% of cases and complications--in 10.3%.
