[Isolation of the bronchi with intraoperative packing in children with bronchiectasis].

The authors discuss experience in 168 operations for extirpation and segmental resection of affected bronchi in children with bronchiectases. To prevent recanalization of the bronchus after its segmental resection and to prevent the formation of an abscess in the isolated part of the lung they suggest a method for intraoperative packing of the remaining bronchi with biopolymer material.

[Possible pleurogenic route in the development of bronchiectasis in children].

Chronic pneumonia with bronchiectases develops often after acute destructive pneumonia with pleurogenous complications. This process is attributed to infection of the pleural adhesions, disorders of pleuropulmonary circulation of blood and lymph, and changes of the rhythmic activity of the bronchi. Study of the motor activity of the smooth-muscle structures of the wall of bronchi involved in a chronic process disclosed sharply diminished tonus and activity of biopotentials. In the initial forms of chronic unspecific pulmonary diseases affection of the neuromuscular apparatus responsible for conduction of the nerve impulse occurred, then the muscle fibres became involved in a sclerotic process, which was attended by reduced evacuation function of the bronchi. The reduction of the bronchial motor function closes the vicious circle of disorders of the pleuropulmonary connections of blood and lymph circulation and is conducive to rapid progress of the chronic process in the lungs.

[Late results of surgical treatment of bronchiectasis in children].

Among the causes of early postoperative complications in children after surgery for bronchiectasia is infection of the prehilar region due to spread of the infection from the bronchial mucosa; it remains on the stump of the bronchus after application of the and instruments during operations on the lungs. Some cases with diminished efficacy of operative treatment of bronchiectasia in the late-term periods are also attributed to this cause. Treatment of the end of the stump of the resected bronchus with the beam of the "Skalpel-l" laser leads to coagulation of the mucous membrane and considerable improvement of the late-term results of operative management of bronchiectasia in patients who had no complications in the early postoperative period.

[The significance of changes in the level of serum immunoglobulins in children with bronchiectasis in the early postoperative period].

Following lung resection children with bronchiectasia may develop complications associated with development of immune abnormalities, frequently showing elevated serum immunoglobulins (Ig) A, G, and M levels. For prognosis of the development of an immunopathological condition, one may use a IgG/IgA ratio. A decrease up to 7.0 or more of the characteristic coefficient may be an indication for immunomodulating therapy with a view to preventing the development of complications in the early postoperative period.
