释义 | Therapy,Collapse《英文msh词典》Therapy,Collapse [入口词] Therapy,Collapse [主题词] Collapse Therapy [英文释义] Surgical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis whereby the lung is totally or partially,temporarily or permanently,immobilized. The procedure was based on the popular concept that collapsing the affected portion of a tuberculous lung allowed the infected area to rest and thereby recover. At the beginning of the 20th century artificially induced pneumothorax (PNEUMOTHORAX,ARTIFICIAL) was popular. Later a variety of other techniques was used to encourage collapse of the infected portion of the lung: unilateral phrenic nerve division,PNEUMONOLYSIS,pneumoperitoneum (PNEUMOPERITONEUM,ARTIFICIAL),and THORACOPLASTY. Collapse therapy has declined since the advent of antitubercular chemotherapy. (Stedman,25th ed; from Sabiston Jr,Textbook of Surgery,14th ed,p1733-4) |
