Extended Sleeve Resection for Lung Cancer.

Abstract

The bronchoplastic procedure is feasible for lung cancer. However, in modern thoracic surgery, the numbers of the procedure are decreasing. To avoid pneumonectomy, thoracic surgeons should be familiar with sleeve resection and vascular reconstruction for thoracic malignancy. Extended sleeve resection is the resection of more than one lobe with the bronchoplastic procedure, which was reported in 1999. Extended sleeve resection is technically demanding, but the procedure should be one of the options to preserve lung function.
