STUDY OF THE LATE-TERM RESULTS OF SURGICA L-TREATMENT OF BRONCHIAL-ASTHMA WITH DUE REGARD FOR ADAPTATION REACTIONS

The authors discuss the late-term results of operative treatment of 11 5 patients with severe forms of bronchial asthma in 6 months to 5 year s after surgery with due regard for the adaptation reactions of the im mune, sympathoadrenal, and hypophyseal-adrenal systems. The high effic acy of surgical treatment of bronchial asthma was confirmed, particula rly of one-stage combined, operations on various links of the autonomi c nervous system which were introduced into practice for the first tim e. It is shown that operative treatment allows the adaptation status o f the patients to be raised, which ensures a positive clinical effect. The role of immunocorrection in increasing the efficacy of surgical t reatment is shown. The causes of the poor results of treatment were st udied.
