Contralateral pneumothorax after pneumonectomy for carcinoma.
Fortunately, contralateral pneumothorax occurs rarely after pneumonectomy. This complication was detected during the immediate postoperative period in four of 340 patients having pneumonectomy for carcinoma at the Ochsner Clinic from January 1942 through June 1958. To our knowledge delayed pneumothorax has not occurred in any of the remaining patients. This lends support to the impression that ...
متن کاملVideo-assisted contralateral treatment for bronchial stump diastasis after left pneumonectomy.
Postoperative bronchial stump failure is a life-threatening complication, and several surgical approaches and procedures have been developed to close the stump. In this report, we describe a case of left mainstem bronchial stump diastasis after pneumonectomy for lung cancer, in which the bronchial stump was re-closed using a contralateral approach with video-assisted thoracic surgery, with good...
متن کاملPulmonary Resection for Metachronous Lung Cancer Following Contralateral Pneumonectomy
Patients who undergo pneumonectomy for lung cancer are at risk of recurrent disease and metachronous tumours in the remaining lung. Establishing a diagnosis can be difficult as biopsy may induce a pneumothorax, whilst resection is limited by remaining lung function. However, pneumonectomy should not be a contraindication to further lung resection. We report two cases of lung cancer resection in...
متن کاملHerniation of the heart after intrapericardial pneumonectomy for bronchial carcinoma.
Since the pioneer work of Graham and Singer (1933), Rienhoff (1933), and Crafoord (1938), great improvements have been made in the surgical technique for resection of bronchial carcinoma. Of major importance was the introduction by Allison (1946) of intrapericardial ligation of the pulmonary vessels. Besides inherent advantages due to the intrapericardial disposition of these vessels and conseq...
متن کاملBronchial stump recurrence after surgery for bronchial carcinoma.
In 10 out of 295 patients (3.4%), followed-up after radical resection for non-small cell bronchial carcinoma in the period from 1980 until 1986, bronchial stump recurrence developed. A good relationship was found between relapse time (4-52 months) and distance between the primary tumour and bronchial resection line (1-7 cm) (i.e. 5-8 months.cm-1) in 8 of the patients (p less than 0.01). The mea...
