A total of 75 patients with diabetes mellitus who underwent surgical interventions on the lungs for fibrocavernous tuberculosis were followed up. A complex preparation for surgery being completed, operative interventions under endotracheal narcosis were carried out in all cases. Postoperative complications occurred in 32 percent of cases, four patients (5.33%) died after the operation. The clinical efficiency was recordable in 94.87 percent of patients. During the postoperative 1- to 15-year follow-up the achieved effect was still to be seen in 83.8 percent of those having been operated on. A major proportion of patients showed improvement in the course of diabetes mellitus.
