[Bronchopleural fistula--risk factors, prophylactics and treatment in oncopulmanology].

The problem in question is actual because of great incidence of postoperative complications and considerable problems with treatment of them. The authors made an analysis of surgical treatment of 506 patients with primary cancer and carcinoid tumors of the lung. The authors have developed a system of individual prognosis of risk of the development of bronchopleural fistulas (BPF), introduced an original technique of bronchomyoplasty with the help of m.serratus anterior and m.lattissimus dorsi. It resulted in 1.2% less frequency of the development of BPF. Current methods and highly informative techniques were used in examining the patients. The total number of the examined patients, program and research methods allowed reliable conclusions to be obtained.
