Abstract
Interest in phrenicotomy, proposed by Sturz'eM in 1911 to treat lesions of the lower lobe of the lungs, was revived by Goetz. who proposed to combine radical phrenicotomy together with transection of the subclavian nerve, from which, in his opinion, the branches branch off to the diaphragm. Soon the question gave rise to a number of works, both anatomical, experimental and clinical, on the abdominal nerve, and the main attention of the authors was paid to determining the nature of the function of the nerve and its connection with the sympathetic nerve. At the 3rd All-Ukrainian Congress of Surgeons on the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis with artificial diaphragm paralysis, many valuable considerations were expressed on the basis of large, comparatively clinical digital data (Mutti, Frayerman). The issue of phrenicotomy, as you can see, does not lose practical interest over time, which is why we decide to illuminate it from our point of view.
