    Author: Lishenko VV.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 2006; 165(6):38-43. PubMed ID: 17436744.
    Abstract:
    The article is based on materials of investigation of the formation and healing of the bronchus stump in dogs, investigation of special structure of the main bronchi and related with it strength characteristics when using different methods of treatment of the bronchus stump and bronchial suture on tracheo-bronchial complexes. The postoperative course after pneumonectomy was analyzed in 530 patients. A new method of treatment of the bronchus stump was proposed (a modified Overholt means) and closing the stump by compression from the outside by special clips. The method combines good strength, and positive features of a unified and individualized method of part-through, out-of-mucus suture of the bronchus.
