The Status of Tried Procedures in the Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

As Seen in the Light of Thirty Years Experience

WILLIAM A. HUDSON M.D., F.C.C.P. and WILLARD B. HOWES M.D., F.C.C.P.

1) The authors have used a multitude of procedures in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. While practically all the surgical procedures have been fashionable at certain periods, each has gradually come to fit into its own particular place as the program has developed.

2) Improved and expanded diagnostic procedures have been of inestimable aid in extending the field of surgery in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.

3) Improved anaesthetic and surgical techniques have not only reduced the surgical hazards but have rendered it possible to care for many types of patients who were formerly doomed.
