Abstract

The study aims to analyze the possibilities of multispiral computed tomography in diagnosing acute thoracic surgical complications in COVID-19. The most common acute thoracic surgical complications were detected in the study of multispiral computed tomography data of 93 patients (57 men and 36 women aged 31 to 89 years), who underwent treatment in 2020–2022, with confirmed coronavirus infection complicated by acute surgical pathology. The complications include spontaneous pneumothorax (38.2 %, n = 34), pleural empyema (31.4 %, n = 28), lung abscess (28.0 %, n = 25), pneumomediastinum (6.7 %, n = 6), and various combinations of all these complications (16.1 %, n = 15). It has been established that multispiral computed tomography is the most informative radiology method both in diagnosing and in determining the tactics of treating the pathology in question.
