The authors discuss their experience in the use of a biopolymeric composition of a biological glue KL-3 and an antiseptic for preoperative filling of bronchiectatic cavities in 28 patients with bronchiectases. The filling is performed before the operation during bronchoscopy conducted under anaesthesia. As a result endobronchitis is relieved, the time needed for preoperative management is shortened, and the number of possible postoperative complications is reduced to minimum.
