Abstract

Lung sequestration – is the lung site, settling down inside or outside of lung lobe and not participating in gas diffusion. The blood-supply of this site is provided with an abnormal vessel from thoracic either abdominal aorta or intercostal artery. For the first time Huber in 1777 has informed about 2-years old child with the anomaly of vessels – connection of thoracic aorta with vessels of the low lobe of right lung was marked. It is accepted to distinguish 2 forms of lung sequestration – intralobar and extralobar. Lung sequestration must be treated surgically. The surgical intervention frequently is reduced to resection of a sequestrating site. Operation is shown and in cases without manifestation, as relapsed inflammation with various complications develops in sequestration.
28 patients with lung sequestration underwent operations in department of surgery of lungs and mediastinum for the period from 1975 to 2007y. X-ray investigation determined or homogeneous wrong form round shade, or cavity with levels of the liquids located on a background not changed lung tissue.

During operation with extra care it is necessary to divide lung ligament, achieving allocation of additional arterial vessel directed from aorta to lung.
