The analysis of the lethality (4.8%) and postoperative complications (2.3%) following 740 lung operations was carried out. The authors developed methods of early preclinical diagnosis of intrapleural complications through the studies of neutrophilic leucocytes histochemical indices and biochemical and cytological changes of postoperative pleural extravasate.
