Evaluation of Various Surgical Procedures in the Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

RALPH C. MATSON M.D., F.C.C.P.; WILLIAM S. CONKLIN M.D., F.C.C.P.; and SHELDON DOMM M.D.1

1 The Department of Surgery, University of Oregon Medical School, the Thoracic Surgery Service of the University State Tuberculosis Hospital, and the Portland Open Air Sanatorium.

Our experience belies the statement that the prognosis of the patient with pulmonary tuberculosis is no better now than it was before the use of surgical procedures. However, it may well be that the point of diminishing returns has been reached with regard to collapse therapy, and that lobectomy and pneumonectomy will be the means whereby additional cases can be helped until some specific therapeutic agent is discovered.
