Abstract

Russia is one of the countries with high incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis. The existence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis under the persistent antibacterial therapy effect leads to a formation of drug resistant forms especially in immunodeficiency in persons with HIV-infection, the number of which is increasing every year. The use of combination of different types of collapse surgery in order to maintain a larger volume of normal pulmonary tissue enables to increase the number of cured patients. The results of literature review show a development and improvement of collapse surgery techniques. The application of different methods of compression of the affected part of the lung, collapse of destruction cavity and fixing the lung in a collapsed state are presented. The main reason for use of transplants in pulmonary tuberculosis collapse surgery is to create conditions for reparation and increase of efficacy of surgical treatment for destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis in cases in which for one reason or another it is impossible to perform a respective surgical operation.
