Overview
Lung abscess as a disease entity was known since the days of Hippocrates, but the history of surgery for primary lung abscess begins in the early 1940's with
Historical perspective
- In 1904 Guillemot first put weight to the theory that aspirated oropharyngeal organisms were responsible for cause of lung abscess[1]
- In 1920-1930 Harold Neuhof, was the first thoracic surgeon to develop a valid and reliable therapeutic concept of new one-stage open drainage operation for surgery of acute pulmonary abscess.[2]
- In 1938 first cutaneous drain of lung abscess was performed.[3]
- In 1942 Brock added evidence in stating that aspirated contents gravitated to the dependents part of the lungs
- In 1946,owing to the advent of antibiotics, and treatment of acute putrid lung abscess with penicillin showed good results and henceforth patients received antibiotics rather than surgical procedures[2]
