Abstract
On the basis of the quantitative analysis of computer tomograms from 17 patients 6 months following left-sided (12) and right-sided (5) pneumonectomy it was shown that: a) anterior and posterior mediastinum were displaced in the direction of the lung removed: by 44 mm and 41 mm to the right, and by 62 mm and 31 mm to left respectively; b) the change of the spatial position of the heart after pneumonectomy included its displacement in both transverse and anteroposterior directions, as well as its rotation; c) the change in the position of mediastinal organs and blood vessels after pneumonectomy consisted in their dislocation in the direction of operation and backwards. The degree of displacement was found to depend on the side of intervention.
