The work is based on an analysis of results of treatment of 25 patients with localized pleuro-pulmonary cavities by the methods of minor surgery. During abscessoscopy collagen was placed on the wound surface, the surface was filled with fibronectin and followed by active aspiration within 12-24 hours. In 20 (80%) patients the lung was expanded earlier. Five patients had no effect.
