  • Title: Surgical options for complete resectable lung cancer invading the phrenic nerve.
    Author: Willaert W, Kessler R, Deneffe G.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 2004 Aug; 104(4):451-3. PubMed ID: 15469161.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 58-year-old male diagnosed with a tumour of the left lung, which on subsequent thoracotomy proved to be invading the phrenic nerve. The clinical and spirometric outcome of a lobectomy, which resulted in a postoperative ipsilateral hemidiaphragmatic paralysis, versus the alternative surgical option of a pneumonectomy is discussed.
