Abstract
From 1975 to 1987, 44 of 230 patients with cystic fibrosis under our care underwent a total of 66 operations. There were no direct intra- or postoperative complications. If an optimal and aggressive adjuvant treatment is given postoperatively, there are no increased risks associated with surgical procedures in cystic fibrosis patients. Treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax remains a problem. An alternative treatment for pneumothorax using transcutaneous fibrin pleurodesis is presented.
