Abstract
1) Collapse therapy to produce a diaphragm rise causes characteristic deformity of the main bronchi. Sharp dorsal angulation of the left main bronchus above the level of all lobe orifices on this side is especially significant. 2) The deformed left tree appears to favor the development of endobronchial disease. 3) Optimal diaphragm rise, rather than maximal rise, based on bronchoscopic observation of the individual case seems the more intelligent approach.
