The author has analyzed results of treatment of 28 patients with hepato-thoracic complications of amebic abscesses of the liver. Different variations of operative interventions are proposed including the separate (subdiaphragmatic) draining of the cavity of the liver abscess and pleural cavity and in cases of the appearance of bilio-bronchial fistulas--resection of the lung.
