The authors propose a new method for surgical treatment of acute purulent diseases of lungs and pleura in children consisting in a combination of operative occlusion of the bronchus of the injured portion of the lung (transection of the bronchus with suturing its ends) with pneumoabscessotomy or cystectomy. Such operations are maximum sparing, have a sufficient sanitation effect, reduce the risk of recurrence, pyopneumothorax and shorten the period of treatment.
