[Intra-and postoperative complications in pulmonary surgery (author's transl)].

The age of the patients, the causative diseases, and the extent of the surgical operation are decisive for the development of intraoperative and postoperative complications in pulmonary surgery. Restrictive and obstructive pulmonary changes of the older-age group involve the danger of postoperative complications. By our experience the critical age for pulmonary surgery is about 50 years.

[Rare thoracic injuries (biomechanics, diagnosis and therapy) (author's transl)].

Thoracic injuries caused by direct or indirect power action involve various injury effects. The extent of injury depends on the force and the direction of the acting power, on the biomechanical properties of the partial structures of the thorax, and on genetically determined variations of form and structure. These correlations are demonstrated by special examples of rare thoracic injuries. The motto for the diagnostic and the choice of the therapeutical procedure is: "Inter vulnerationem thoracis diagnosis incipiat".

When surgical treatment is necessary, decisions about the surgical procedures should be made knowing the in situ condition. Cooperation in decision making between bronchologist and thoracic surgeon is required.

[The management of bronchial hemoptysis - case study (author's transl)].

Two case reports exemplify, that in patients with massive hemoptysis occuring in the bronchial system and owing to known or unknown causes, the emergency surgery must not to be delayed. In the case of minor relapsing hemoptysis, especially in old-age patients or borderline operability, the minimum surgical procedure is indicated after diagnosing and finding the localization of the hemorrhage.
