In the article, with 72 patients, taken as an example, with tuberculosis of respiratory organs the authors present their clinical experience with using various methods of surgical correction of the hemithorax volume (by means of extrapleural, intrapleural, extra-intrapleural correcting thoracoplasties and diaphragmplasty) during performing resections on the lungs and/or pleura. Substantiation is given to the necessity of correcting hemithorax volume in patients with tuberculosis of respiratory organs in performing resections of great volume.
