Abstract
This article demonstrates the possibilities of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC therapy) in surgical treatment of one of the most severe categories of patients — patients with chronic pulmonary tuberculosis with widespread drug resistance. The authors show the effectiveness of VAC therapy in various clinical situations: VAC therapy in combination with endoscopic valvular bronchoblocation, as an independent treatment method in a patient with bilateral fibrous-cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis, as well as a combination of VAC therapy with retrograde occlusion of bronchial fistula. The special feature of these cases is the performance of low-trauma organ-preserving operations in patients with no prospect of cure by conservative methods.
