In recent decades, both in our country and abroad, a significant increase in the incidence of bronchial asthma in all age groups, its more severe course, increased mortality, large economic losses associated with temporary and permanent loss of ability to work have been noted. This disease attracts the attention of physicians of various specialties, including surgeons. More than 20 types of surgical interventions have been proposed for the surgical treatment of bronchial asthma; glomectomy with denervation of the sinocarotid reflexogenic zone, or Nakayama-Rutkovsky operation, is the most common among them. Its pathogenetic essence lies in the interruption of the pathological reflex pathway between the lungs and the respiratory center by surgical action on the intermediate link, which is the sinocarotid reflexogenic zone.
