Liliеnthal (N.-York). For the surgeon, abscess and bronchiectasis are important from pulmonary suppuration. Surgical intervention is indicated only for progressive abscesses, since a significant part of inpatient and. capable of self-healing. Bronchoscopy, artificial pneumothorax can be performed, but phrenicoecgomy has no effect. The intervention should be carried out with the head down and with local anesthesia, sometimes a two-stage operation is indicated. Postoperative complications in the form of bronchitis, fistulas cause thoracoplasty. Suppurative bronchiectasis usually follows oral surgery after a few weeks. Treatment can be either palliative: drainage, which usually results in fistula, thoracoplasty, apicolysis, or radical: lobectomy. A. reported 40 cases of lobectomies, albeit with a high mortality rate (62%).
