Prophylaxis and Treatment Methods Ofbronchial Fistulas after Lungs Surgery

476 patients suffering from lungs suppurative diseases were operated in the Thoracic Surgery Department of City Clinical Hospital N0. 6 (Hospital Surgery Clinic, Bashkir Medical Institute) in the period since 1979 up to date. In 32 patients (6,7%) developed bronchial fistulas in the post-operative period. While analysing the reasons of bronchial fistulas development we established that in 18 cases there was the active infecting of the pleural cavity caused by dissecting pleural adhesions and cuting parietal abscesses while separating lung; marked inflammatory infiltration in bronchus 4 cases; inflammation exacerbation in another lung 2 cases.
