| Summary: | The article presents the comparative analysis of various types of thoracoplasty in treatment of tuberculosis patients with big cavities (more than 4 cm).Subjects and methods: 63 patients were enrolled into the study (each of 3 groups included 21 patients depending on the type of thoracoplasty).Results. Cavity healing and sputum conversion were achieved faster in the patients who had thoracoplasty by the method offered by the authors with use of the mesh transplant of Surgipro–SPMM-149. This method allowed avoiding mediastinal hernias and provided the highest rate of cavity healing – 81.0 ± 8.6%. |
