    Abstract:
    Results of 120 operations for pulmonary tuberculosis performed by using a carbon dioxide laser were analyzed. Eighty patients were subjected to saving resection of the lung. Lobectomy, pulmonectomy and pulmonary cystorhaphy were carried out in 15, 6 and 8 patients, respectively. Thoracoplasty with myoplasty of the residual pleural cavity was applied to 11 patients. The early results of the surgical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in all the patients were satisfactory.
