    Abstract:
    An 82-year-old man who had been undergoing hemodialysis for chronic renal failure, 3 times a week for the last 3 years, was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of lung cancer. Under careful perioperative management, we successfully performed a lobectomy. Histological examination revealed well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and the postoperative staging was pT1N0M0. On postoperative day 1, he was commenced on hemodialysis with nafamostat mesilate instead of heparin sodium, and there was no postoperative bleeding. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged 3 weeks after his operation.
