Effectiveness of treatment of the residual pleural cavity after partial resection of the lungs was studied in 142 patients. Complex therapeutic treatment (trans-thoracic++ puncture therapy, filling with autologous blood ) and reoperations facilitated clinical healing of 127 patients (89.5%). Satisfactory results were stated in 7 patients (4.9%). Unsatisfactory results due to progressing tuberculosis process were observed in 3 patients (2.1). Five patients died (3.5%).
