[Results of surgical treatment of bronchiectasis in children].

Among the causes of complications occurring in the early postoperative period in children is purulent endobronchitis which in most cases cannot be arrested in the preoperative period by the traditional methods of bronchoscopic cleansing. Endobronchial application of a helium--neon laser beam in a complex with the traditional methods in the preoperative period allows endobronchitis to be arrested and the postoperative complications to be reduced to 3% of cases.

[External respiratory function in children with bilateral, chronic, nonspecific inflammatory disease of the lungs after surgical treatment].

The results of operative treatment of children with bilateral chronic unspecific inflammatory diseases of the lungs were studied in follow-up periods of up to 17 years. Among the 73 patients studied, 19 had a history of bilateral and the remaining a history of unilateral resections. According to the findings of respiratory function examination, a combined type of ventilation disorders with mild hypoxemia and hypercapnia was characteristic of this group of patients before the operation. In the postoperative period the restrictive syndrome intensifies because the volume loss is not compensated for. There is a discrepancy between the clinical and functional data in evaluation of the results of the operation. However, in cases of good clinical results after extensive resections of the lungs a positive dynamics of the ventilation capacity of the lungs with increased oxygen tension in the arterial blood is recorded.

[Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes in children with chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory organs].

During the 7-year period of observation (1982-1988) the serotypes of 276 pneumococcal strains isolated from children with chronic bronchopulmonary diseases were studied. Among the serotypes of pneumococci under study, serotypes 6, 19 and 15 held the leading place and included a half of all typed pneumococci. Dynamic observation on the serotype composition of pneumococci revealed periodic fluctuations in the occurrence of some types/groups. The regional analysis of different serotypes of pneumococci showed the common occurrence of serogroups 6 and 19, as well as some regional features in the circulation of serotypes 6, 10, 3 and rarely occurring serotypes. The study revealed that any new exacerbation of the chronic bronchopulmonary process is caused by pneumococci of some other serotype. Pneumococcal strains, resistant (3.4%) and sensitive (1.8%) to penicillin, were detected; most of them belonged to serogroup 19.

[Retention cysts of the lungs in children].

The authors has 34 children with retention cysts of the lungs under observation. The most frequent localization of the cyst is the anterior segment of the superior lobe (20), central localization is characteristic of retention cysts. The disease must be differentiated first of all from tuberculosis. Not in all cases is this an easy problem. Before admission to the surgical clinic 16 children were given specific therapy for a long time. Two children had a suppurating cyst. The diagnosis of the cyst is based on careful study of the medical history and the characteristic findings of radiography and tomography of the chest. All of the children were operated on. The volume of the operation was determined by the condition of the surrounding segments. Segmentectomy was the most frequently performed operation.
