Abstrakt: Twelve patients with severe chronic pulmonary obstructive disease complicated by a strong respiratory failure underwent lung volume reduction operations. An examination of the baseline functional parameters showed a significant outflow obstruction and lung hyperinflation. All the patients selected for the operation had a heterogeneous pattern of emphysema. Air leak from the lung suture was the main problem in the postoperative period. Long-term results were studied in 9 patients. A significant reduction of the respiratory failure and improvement of quality of life of the patients were noted. Significantly increased vital capacity, forced expiratory volume for 1 second, decreased residual volume and bronchial resistance were demonstrated.
