Abstract
Abstracts. Surgery. About unilateral free thoracotomy. T. Ohsawa (Zntrlbl. F. Chir. 1930, no. 40) describes Professor K. Torikata's method of unilateral opening of the chest without the use of pressure apparatus. After resection of the VII and VIII or VIII and IX ribs at the costal angle, the pleural cavity is opened in the VII or VIII intercostal space. The lung collapses and, if necessary, is retracted to the side. N. phrenicus intersects near the diaphragm.
