[Technic, indications and value of pulmonary decortications (615 operated cases)].

On the basis of their experience in 615 cases of pleuropulmonary decortication, the authors discuss the indications, contraindications, approach and procedure in pleuropulmonary decortication. Surgery has the double purpose of suppressing the empyema cavity and recovering most of the functional pulmonary parenchyma. A personal procedure was applied consisting of thoracotomy through the sixth intercostal space, then along the cleavage lines outside the limits of the empyema pouch, from the periphery towards the center at the level of the pulsatile organs, zones called the key points of pleuropulmonary decortication. Very good results were obtained in 80--50% of the tuberculous empyema cases and in 90--95% of the non-tuberculous diseases. The authors consider that pleuropulmonary decortication is a widely applicable surgical method in pleural empyema, being one of the few surgical methods used for redressing the function of an organ.

[Indications and results of surgical treatment of the post-tuberculosis syndrome].

The post-tuberculous syndromes are more numerous and more severe following the present treatments with tuberculostatics, as compared with the past. Indications of the surgical treatment of these syndromes should be aimed at obtaining functional recovery, and they must be always adapted according to the patient's requirements. The results depend on the indications, on the technical performance, on the post-operative treatment (medical physical exercises, etc.). In the surgical treatment of the present post-tuberculous syndrome there is a supplementary risk, as compared with the surgical treatment of the evolutive tuberculosis. Prophylaxis of the post-tuberculous syndrome can be achieved by a correct medical treatment. If this is not successful the surgical treatment will be applied at the optimal time.

[Current problems in the treatment of thoracic hydatid cysts].

The authors present the experience of the Clinic for Thoracic Surgery of Bucharest, based on a total of 1206 cases of patients operated for hydatic cysts. An original classification is presented, of human hydatidosis, the indications of surgical treatment are stressed, namely the evacuation of the hydatic membrane with the peri-cystic tissue, even in cases of evacuated and suppuratec cysts--the authors objecting to the pulmonary resection in cases of hydatic cysts. The authors have performed simultaneous bilateral interventions, associated or not with phrenotomy, in bilateral and hepatic localizations. In the paper is also presented a new procedure (introduced by Prof. C. Coman) for the total extirpation of the hydatic membrane, a simple procedure which practically prevents effraction of the cyst. On the other hand the results confirm the efficiency of the procedure, very good results being obtained in 98,8% of the cases.
