  • Title: Upper lobe lobectomy and concomitant thoracoplasty in pulmonary tuberculosis. A preliminary report.
    Author: SAMSON PC, DUGAN DJ, HARPER HP.
    Journal: Calif Med; 1950 Dec; 73(6):547-9. PubMed ID: 14792355.
    Abstract:
    In this, a preliminary report, the advantages and disadvantages of upper lobe lobectomy and concomitant thoracoplasty in tuberculosis have been summarized. There has been no undue increase in the operative hazard, there have been no complications, and the immediate results have been entirely satisfactory.Twenty-six patients were subjected to a combined operation (17 upper lobectomy-thoracoplasty and nine pneumonectomy-thoracoplasty) with one postoperative death. Indications for primary lobectomy have been discussed. The technique of resection and concomitant thoracoplasty has been briefly described.
