    Author: Cherkasov VA, Mursalimov RZ, Rudoĭ EP.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1989; (2):34-6. PubMed ID: 2704710.
    Abstract:
    The experience with surgical treatment of 134 patients with extended destructive tuberculosis of the lungs was studied. Among them 79 patients were subjected to lung resection in combination with thoracoplasty, 14 patients were subjected to thoracoplasty and 41 patients were subjected to various forms of cavernoplasty. It was shown that corrective thoracoplasty carried out simultaneously with lung resection lowered the risk of tuberculosis aggravation.
