Abstract
Failure to obtain the desired effects in pneumothorax therapy is largely due to adhesions between lung and chest wall. In a certain proportion of cases those adhesions may be divided and complete collapse of the lung effected by the combined method of thoracoscopy and galvano-cauterisation devised by Professor Jacobæus. The technique of this method is described, special difficulties and complications are discussed, and details of nine cases are given. Since this method was adopted at Mesnalien Sanatorium, every case treated with an artificial pneumothorax has been examined with the thoracoscope, and of twenty-seven thus examined the nine cases reported above were selected for cauterisation. In five of these striking improvement was effected, and in two others there was some improvement.
