  • Title: [Interest of pleurectomy as a complement of emphysematous bullae resections (author's transl)].
    Author: Eschapasse H, Fabre J, Toffa R, Taobane Y, Gaillard J, Berthoumieu F, Fournial G.
    Journal: Rev Fr Mal Respir; 1980; 8(2):155-8. PubMed ID: 7465986.
    Abstract:
    Complementary pleurectomy following emphysematous bullae resection is justified only if it improves long-term results in comparison with surgical symphysis obtained by pleural irritation. This cannot be proved at this time. On the other hand, in spite of their limitations, experiments in man suggest that this pleurectomy does not cause any particular complications. In the animal, this parietal pleural resection causes cortical fibrous alveolitis which is not present after other symphysis processes. The authors suggest therefore the use of pleurectomy as a complement of bullae resections in acute and diffuse emphysema.
