Abstract
|
|
|
Bronchoplastic and angioplastic operation in lung surgery is appropriate treatment for a wide range of benign endobronchial lesions and low grade malignancies. Between March 1990 to February 1994, four patients underwent bronchial sleeve
resection
and
one patient received left upper lobe lobectomy with pulmonary artery angioplasty. Types of disease includes two cases of endobronchial tuberculosis and three cases of lung cancer. The main operation performed are one pneumonectomy, two right
upper
lobectomy and one each of left upper lobectomy and left lobectomy. All cases received sleeve resection not due to decreased respiratory reserve but due to anatomic suitability. One patient who received pneumonectomy had postoperative complication
of
empyema thoracis. (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1994; 27:374-8)
