Thoracic surgery is done in the Research Institute for Pulmonary Diseases and Tuberculosis for about 25 years. 2463 lung resections on account of tuberculosis, 934 lung resections on account of intrathoracic tumors, among them 795 suffering from bronchial carcinoma, 422 operations because of nonspecific pulmonary diseases (bronchiectasis, lung abscess a.s.o.) and nearly the same number of operations because of spontaneous pneumothorax were performed in this time. Cystic lung disease, bullous emphysema, pulmonary mycosis and diseases of diaphragm and oesophagus were rarer indications for surgery. Since 1970 an increasing number of thoracic injuries by accidents were treated (70 patients). At the beginning collapse therapy (1953/54) was still in use (305 operations). In all the number of great thoracic operations 1978 was 5417. Besides, experimental investigations dealing with lung transplantation were done in dogs. These results are published in several papers. The technical experience gained by this research work could be utilized for clinical practice.
在肺部疾病与结核病研究所进行胸外科手术已有约25年时间。在此期间，因结核病进行了2463例肺切除术，因胸内肿瘤进行了934例肺切除术，其中795例患有支气管癌，因非特异性肺部疾病（支气管扩张、肺脓肿等）进行了422例手术，因自发性气胸进行的手术数量也大致相同。囊性肺病、大疱性肺气肿、肺真菌病以及膈肌和食管疾病是较罕见的手术指征。自1970年以来，治疗的因事故导致的胸外伤患者数量不断增加（70例）。起初（1953/1954年）仍在使用萎陷疗法（305例手术）。1978年胸外科大手术的总数为5417例。此外，还在狗身上进行了肺移植的实验研究。这些结果发表在多篇论文中。这项研究工作所获得的技术经验可应用于临床实践。
