RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 New approaches to surgical treatment of patients with tuberculosis of lungs revealed for the first time in combination with diabetes mellitus JF European Respiratory Journal JO Eur Respir J FD European Respiratory Society SP P2407 VO 40 IS Suppl 56 A1 Yaroslav Voloshyn YR 2012 UL http://erj.ersjournals.com/content/40/Suppl_56/P2407.abstract AB 257 patients with destructive tuberculosis of lungs and diabetes operated in the Institute (last 25 years). Men - 148 (57,58%), women - 109 (42,41%), aged 14-67 years. Insulin-dependent diabetes - 199 (77,43%), insulin-independent - 58 (22,57%): severe form - 174 (67,7%), moderate - 62 (24,13%), light - 21 (8,17%).Before reaching the Institute - chemotherapy (6 months) - 95 (36,96%), 6-12 months - 150 (58,37%), none - 12 (4,67%). Indications to operation: tuberculoma - 125 (48,64%), fibrocavernous tuberculosis - 109 (42,41%), cavernous - 5 (1,95%), disseminated - 4 (1,56%), caseous pneumonia - 14 (5,45%).New methods of preoperative preparation, operative and postoperative treatment (using erbisol and other new preparations) worked out.Segmentectomy - 188 (73,15%), lobectomy - 59 (22,96%), bilobectomy - 7 (2,72%), combinated resection - 20 (7,78%), pneumonectomy - 19 (7,39%), precising resection - 25 (9,73%), new methods of cryosurgery, videothoracoscopy, including biological welding of tissues.Complications - 27 (10,51%), lethality - 5 (1,95%), clinical effect - 252 (98,05%). After discharging from the Institute chemotherapy - 7-12 months on the background of dietinsulintherapy, treatment against relapse - spring and autumn (3 years).
