Electron microscopic examinations of the lungs of animals with the model of experimental staphylococcal destruction of the lungs have revealed the regeneration of lung tissues which took place by the 6th month from the onset of the disease. The stimulating effect of laser radiation on the cell growth at the expense of mitosis was observed in the culture of epithelioid cells of the lung tissue. Findings of bronchography, angiopulmonography and an analysis of the function of external respiration in 10 patients have shown a complete anatomical and functional recovery of the alveolar tissue in sites of the former localization of pulmonary abscesses.

The work is based upon the treatment of 445 patients with complicated abscesses of the lungs for the period from 1963 to 1984. 158 operations were performed in 149 patients. General lethality in patients with complicated abscesses of the lungs was 11%. The operative treatment is thought to be absolutely indicated in patients with abscesses of the lungs complicated by hemorrhage and in patients with gangrenous abscesses of the lungs.
