HEALTH FOK ALL
SURGICAL TREATMENT OF
TUBERCULOSIS
Bed rest is fundamental in the
cure of tuberculosis. There is ab
solutely no substitute for it.
However, in some cases it is nec
essary to supplement bed rest
with surgical treatment. All sur
gical treatment of tuberculosis is
aimed at helping bed rest do its
job.
Collapse therapy, or collapsing
the lung by major or minor sur
gery, is one accepted method.
When the diseased area of the
lung is collapsed, the work of
the lung is diminished, and the
cavity and diseased area have a
chance to heal.
The most common method of
collapse used is known as ther
apeutic pneumothorax. Air is in
troduced into the chest cavity
cutside and around the lung,
temporarily collapsing the lung.
The air keeps ‘he lung relaxed
and decreases its movement in
breathing, thus allowing the
diseased part of the lung to heal.
Some of the air introduced into
the chest cavity is absorbed by
the tissues so more air must be
introduced at regular intervals.
After the diseased lung is healed
it is allowed to re-expand grad
ually by extending the time be
tween “refills” of air, and by in
jections of increasingly smaller
amounts of air.
Sometimes pneumothorax is
ineffective because of adhesions
holding the lung to the chest
wall. In that case an operation
called pneumonuiysis is per
formed. The adhesions are cut
to make collapse possible, and
the cavity closes as the lung col
lapses.
One of the simplest collapse
therapy operations to provide
additional rest for the lung is
one which paralyzes the dia
phragm by crushing or cutting
the phrenic nerve. This nerve
begins in the neck and runs the
length of the chest on each side
to the diaphragm, the powerful
muscle which controls breathing.
When the diaphragm is paraly
zed either temporarily for a few
months, or permanently, the
work of the lung on that side of
‘he chest is limited or stopped
and it is therefore given a
chance to heal.
Sometimes, a,patient’s lung

may be so badly damaged by tu
berculosis disease that its tem
porary collapse is not enough.
Thoracoplasty is a major form
of surgery used to collapse the
lung permanently. By it, ribs
over the diseased area of the
lung are removed, allowing the
soft tissues of the chest to press
against the lung and collapse it.
This will close the majority of
lung cavities and permanently
collapse the lung in that area.
These are some of the most
commonly used surgical meth
ods in the treatment of tuber
culosis. Although bed rest is the
prime factor in tuberculosis care,
surgical treatment, however, is
sometimes necessary also for the
welfare of the patient.
It is of interest to many Chat
tooga Countians that Paul
Weems, former funeral director
here, has been treated for tu
berculosis at Battey State Hos
pital through surgical treat
ment.
According to Mrs. Weems, her
husband is much improved after
the series of operations, which
began nine months ago. He is
expected home in the near fu
