Bronchotomy

Bronchotomation is a method of removing part or all of the lumen of a hollow organ using a surgical incision. Bronchotomy is performed for bronchogenic cancer, lung cancer, and also when it is necessary to treat another respiratory disease. In addition, bronchitis requires bronchoscopy - this is an examination of the bronchi, taking a tissue sample for histological examination, a biopsy, and collecting material for cytological examination.

Bronchotomy is a surgical procedure during which the bronchial wall is dissected.

The goal of the disease is to dissect the resulting tumor, adhesions, polyps, and partially or completely free the bronchi from contents from the lumen. This operation is performed for: * effective cleansing of the respiratory tract from purulent sputum; stopping the development of the inflammatory process; ridding the patient of broncho-obstructive syndrome; administering conservative medications directly into the bronchial cavity; physical procedures used to prevent the spread of infections; preventing operations; and

Bronchotomy operations are various methods of surgical treatment of the bronchi. They are performed in patients with bronchogenic forms of lung cancer, cystic tumors, and tuberculosis. The principles of bronchotomy operations are outlined in the System of Thoracic Surgery.

Today in thoracic practice the following are widely used: upper and lower lobectomies, pneumonectomy, pneumonectomy and their modifications, selective and superselective mediastinal lymph node dissection. The choice of optimal surgical intervention is carried out taking into account the nature of the bronchial lesion. Bronchotomy is divided into: upper and lower, external and internal. * Upper bronchotomy With upper bronchotomy, the operation is performed on the main and lobar bronchi of the I, II, III and IV orders of branching over a distance of 2-3 cm to the mouth of the segmental bronchi. Bronchostomy is performed high in the trachea - it allows access to the lower
