Linberg Thoracoplasty

Linberg thoracoplasty is a surgery to remove part of the chest to treat lung diseases such as tuberculosis, cancer and others. It was developed by Swedish surgeon Eric Linberg in 1953. Linberg thoracoplasty is one of the most difficult operations in surgery and is performed only in specialized medical institutions.

The operation begins by creating an incision in the sternum, which allows access to the lungs. The surgeon then removes part of the chest wall to make room for the lungs and relieve pressure on them. After this, the surgeon restores the shape of the chest using special metal plates and screws.

After the operation, the patient must remain in the hospital under the supervision of doctors for several days. He can then be discharged home and continue treatment at home.

Linberg thoracoplasty is highly effective and is often used to treat serious lung diseases. However, like any other operation, it may have its own risks and complications, so before undergoing it, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and consultation with doctors.



Linberg thoracotomy is an operation aimed at eliminating adhesions and scars that have arisen in the chest cavity after injury or illness. This technique was developed by Peter Linberg in 1974 and is one of the most effective ways to restore normal respiratory function after thoracic surgery. Linberg thoracomastia is performed under general anesthesia using surgical instruments and takes about 3 to 6 hours, depending on the complexity of the disease.

Linberg thorectomy allows you to restore normal functioning of the respiratory system, reduce adhesions and speed up the patient’s recovery process. However, this procedure has its disadvantages, such as high cost and possible risks of complications. In addition, Linberg thoraxtotomy is a new approach to the treatment of adhesions in the chest.

The main indications for Linberg thoracic surgery are to reduce lung density by removing cancer cells, fibrous areas and other tissues that interfere with the normal functioning of the respiratory system. Surgery may be prescribed for lung cancer, tuberculosis and other diseases that cause fibrosis and a decrease in lung volume.

Preparation for surgery begins several weeks before surgery. Patients undergo a comprehensive examination to identify possible contraindications and assess the extent of the disease. The day after the examination, patients are operated on by puncturing the chest on the back.

During the operation, the surgeon makes a small incision in the sternum, then separates the diaphragmatic hernia, removes adhesions and scars, which allows normal breathing function to be established. After the operation, the patient is hospitalized for several days for observation and treatment of possible complications, and then discharged home under the supervision of a doctor.
