The Technique of Thoracoscopy and Cauterization of Pleural Adhesions
more popular in India. The need for frequent z-ray examinations for the control and maintenance of artificial pneumothorax is also becoming widely recognized. One result of these developments has been the realization of the fact that among those in whom artificial pneumothorax is apparently successful, only a small percentage get a complete collapse of the lung free from pleural adhesions.

متن کاملPrevention of Pleural Adhesions by Bioactive Polypeptides - A Pilot Study
OBJECTIVE Postoperative pleural adhesions lead to major problems in repeated thoracic surgery. To date, no antiadhesive product has been proven clinically effective. Previous studies of differently charged polypeptides, poly-L-lysine (PL) and poly-L-glutamate (PG) have shown promising results reducing postoperative abdominal adhesions in experimental settings. This pilot study examined the poss...
