[Selection of a method and surgical tactics in late repeated operations on the lungs and pleura].

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.

[Complications and lethality after operations on the lungs].

The analysis of the lethality (4.8%) and postoperative complications (2.3%) following 740 lung operations was carried out.
