An Analytical Review of Extra-Periosteal Plombage Thoracoplasty

C. V. PATEL M.D.1 and A. L. ANAND M.B.2

1 Director, K. J. Mehta Tuberculosis Hospital.
2 Resident Medical Officer, K. J. Mehta Tuberculosis Hospital.

Extra-periosteal plombage remains still a procedure of choice in cases where other surgical measures cannot be easily employed. It is particularly indicated in old patients and cases with extensive disease.

Our experience so far with 55 per cent of cases arrested out of a total of 135 patients for a period of over five years is very encouraging, in view of the fact that it was adopted only in patients who showed an extensive disease and who were a poor risk group.
