[SITS-TECHNOLOGY USE IN SURGICAL TREATMENT OF EXUDATIVE PLEURISY ON PARTIAL OBLITERATION OF PLEURAL CAVITY].

The results of examination and treatment of 47 patients with pleural effusion of various origins on partialy obliteration pleural cavity was analysed. The efficiency SITS-technology (single-incision thoracoscopic surgery) use in the diagnosis and treatment of patients was proved. When using SITS-technology pleural exudation severity and duration decreased to (27 ± 9)%. Reduce operation trauma and pain intensity and better cosmetic effects with SITS-technology interventions was established.
