On the issue of filling with adipose tissue of pulmonary cavities in tuberculosis

There are two methods of filling the lung with tuberculosis: one with fat according to Tuffier, the other with paraffin according to Ber and Sauebruch. Both the one and the other method has its supporters and adherents. We will talk about the advantages of a paraffin filling later, but now we will describe a case of unsuccessful plastic surgery with fat, which ended in a purulent process and gave rise to an auto-transplant.
