The Use of Plastic Sponge in the Surgical Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

(A Preliminary Report)

ALLAN HURST M.D., F.C.C.P.1; JOHN B. GROW M.D., F.C.C.P.1; SAMUEL LEVINE M.D.1; and HAROLD M. PERLMUTTER M.D.1

Seventeen operations on 14 patients have been done using vinyl copolymer sponge and formalinized polyvinyl alcohol. The latter material appears better suited to clinical work with fewer complications. The early results of this work are encouraging in the surgical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, both as an extrapleural plombe and as a prosthesis following resection.
