Any operative measure at this age, has the certain risk as ability of tissues to neogenesis decreases, toest to vostanovleniju and to an adhesion.
I so understand it is a question about epibronhialnom a diverticulum.
It is necessary to note, that the given diverticulums are well emptied from peep which has got in their lumen and seldom reach or achieve greater or big sizes. But if there is an expressed symptomatology (complaints) and furthermore there are complications operative treatment is necessary. Operative access is carried out by opening a thorax in the sixth mezhrebere. Presence in addition at the patient of a glaucoma, plays a part, but the basic demands all the same are shown to a status cardiovascular sitemy lungs, to a mediastinum.
