Since 1980 the N.N. Burdenko Faculty Surgical clinic, I.M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy, has been using a combination of high- and low-frequency ultrasounds for the diagnosis and treatment of surgical diseases of lung and pleura in 156 patients for the diagnosis of pleuritis of various genesis, in 40 patients for transthoracic aspiration biopsy of lung tumors in the preoperative period, in 156 patients for pleural puncture and drainage, in 40 patients for the intraoperative differential diagnosis of peripheral lung tumors and for the inspection of hematogenic and lymphogenic metastatic areas, in 100 patients for intraoperative prophylaxis, and in 20 patients for the treatment of acute postoperative pleural empyema. Ultrasound was demonstrated to be of high informative value in diagnosing different pleuritis. Transthoracic aspiration biopsy was shown to have some advantages over standard methods: use of needle catheters for pleural puncture permits one to avoid serious complications (pneumothorax, bleeding, etc). Ultrasound was used in intraoperative diagnosis of peripheral lung tumors for the first time. The use of low-frequency ultrasound for the intraoperative prevention of acute postoperative pleural empyemas promotes reliable sanitation of the pleural cavity, as confirmed by bacteriologic control data. Timely rethoracotomies with low-frequency ultrasound treatment of the pleura promote more rapid inflammation elimination in the pleural cavity and prevents irreversible complications.
