The history of the surgical treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis illustrates the rapidly declining need for operative intervention, even in the salvage area. Nonetheless the techniques which were largely developed and refined in treating complicated tuberculous disease have proved to be applicable in the management of challenging problems not involving tuberculosis.This report summarizes the results achieved by salvage resection, salvage decortication, and salvage thoracoplasty and indicates that the value exceeds the risk, even in critically ill patients. Emphasis is placed on the significance of persisting spaces and the methods of obliterating these cavities. Osteoplastic thoracoplasty is advised as a prophylactic technique and the “tailored” procedure as a definitive maneuver. When decortication is required in infected patients, enucleation of the empyema is preferable. The presence of a bronchopleural fistula in these patients creates life-endangering risks, and the security of closure can be improved by the utilization of intercostal muscle grafts. A technique for applying the graft is briefly described.
