ANALYSIS OF INTRAOPERATIVE DATA TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A NEW METHOD OF SEALING SUTURES IN LUNG SURGERY

Abstract

Aerostasis after surgical interventions on the lungs, as well as with
lung injuries, remains an unresolved problem of pulmonary surgery. The purpose
of this study was to develop and intraoperative evaluation of a new method of
sealing sutures in lung surgery. A total of 275 patients with various lung
pathologies requiring surgical treatment were included in the study. The largest
number of operations were performed for echinococcosis of the lungs, in the
comparison group 60 (41.7%), in the main group 73 (55.7%). Next in number were
patients with pulmonary bullous emphysema – 43 (29.9%) and 26 (19.8%)
patients, respectively. Summarizing the primary studies on intraoperative
verification of the effectiveness of the proposed method of achieving aero- and
hemostasis in lung surgery, the following can be noted.
