  • Title: [Endocavitary ultraviolet laser irradiation in the preoperative preparation of patients with progressive fibrocavernous tuberculosis].
    Author: Dobkin VG, Bagirov MA, Faĭzullin DR, Kuz'min GP.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk Bolezn Legk; 2006; (2):25-8. PubMed ID: 16610306.
    Abstract:
    The authors have improved a procedure for preoperatively preparing patients with progressive drug-resistant fibrocavernous tuberculosis. This has been achieved by using ultraviolet laser irradiation (wavelength 248 nm) of the cavity walls in the multimodality treatment of this disease. Endocavitary laser irradiation increases preoperative preparation and surgical treatment and reduces the number of postoperative complications.
