  • Title: [Morbidity and long-term survival after bronchoplastic resection of non-small-cell bronchial carcinoma].
    Author: Müller C, Schinkel C, Hoffmann H, Dienemann H.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1995 Apr; 66(4):308-12; discussion 312. PubMed ID: 7634940.
    Abstract:
    During the past 12 years, among 1384 operations for NSCLC, 96 (6.9%) bronchoplastic resections were performed. There were 68 lobectomies, 19 bilobectomies and 9 pneumonectomies done by means of 66 sleeve resections, 28 wedge resections and 2 resections of the tracheal bifurcation. Atelectasis and anastomotic dehiscence were observed in 5 and 4%, respectively. A local complete resection was achieved in 81%. The 30-day mortality was 4%. The results show, that bronchoplastic procedures represent a safe therapeutic option in the operative treatment of centrally located NSCLC.
