- Speleoplasty is a surgical technique specifically for treating cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis, offering a direct approach to the affected areas.
- This method is simpler and quicker than traditional procedures like thoracoplasty or pulmonary resection, leading to reduced surgery time and lower risks during and after the operation.
- The procedure maintains the respiratory function and anatomical structure of the thorax, preserving the integrity of lung tissue and the chest wall.
Article Abstract
Speleoplasty is a method of surgical treatment of cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis. The proposed surgical procedure differs from thoracoplasty and from pulmonary resection by a direct approach of the pulmonary cavernae. Speleoplasty is a simple, reliable technique, reducing significantly the surgical time as well as the operatory and post-operatory strike risks. This procedure does not diminish the respiratory surface and preserves the architecture of the thorax wall by keeping the anatomical integrity of the pulmonary parenchyma and of the thorax.
