Of all the currently used types of surgical intervention in the treatment of pulmonary tbc, as you know, the most common and justified are actually 3 operations: a) virtually bloodless intervention - artificial pneumothorax (pneum.), B) almost bloodless and technically easy operation - frenico -exeresis and, finally, c) bloody, serious and technically difficult operation - extensive thoraco-plasty. Despite the significant difference in the technique of these operations, they are all based on one general idea — collapse therapy, that is, the desire to obtain a therapeutic effect by more or less significant compression and immobilization of the affected lung. I will not touch upon the technique and clinic of these operations here, but I will dwell briefly on the fundamental side of this method of treatment, on the essence of the action of collapse therapy (col. Ter.).
