Thoracic surgery of Yakutia: view through the prism of phthisiatry
Abstract
Thoracic surgery specialty had been developed in Russia since the postwar years, but was officially established as a specialty in 1996. Absolute majority of thoracic surgical operations in the USSR were performed in anti-tuberculosis institutions. In Yakutia, thoracic surgery developed in three stages: start-up, assimilation of new techniques, development and introduction of in-house original methods of surgery.
