The authors have shown the possibility of the hermetization of the bronchial stump after resection of the lung through the use of osteocyanacrlic mass treated with ultrasound. A small number of clinical reservations, however does not allow to recommend the method for a broad use in the clinical practice. Nevertheless the authors believe the idea of ultrasound sutureless closure of the bronchial stump to be a promising one and needing further studies.
