PNEUMONECTOMY AND LOBECTOMY IN BRONCHOGENIC CARCINOMA

Pneumopericardium after pneumonectomy and lobectomy.

Pneumopericardium is a rare condition, most frequently reported in connection with prolonged artificial ventilation in infants with hyaline membrane disease. No reports of pneumopericardium after pulmonary surgery have been published. Two cases of pneumopericardium are reported, one of tension pneumopericardium after pneumonectomy and artificial ventilation and one that followed radical lobecto...

Left pneumonectomy and middle lobectomy for bronchiectasis.

Lobectomy for metachronous lung cancer after pneumonectomy.

Second primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a well-known disease in patients having undergone successful NSCLC resection. Surgery for patients with cancer in the residual lung after pneumonectomy should not be excluded automatically. However, surgery on a single residual lung is usually done by wedge resection or segmentectomy, whereas lobectomy remains somewhat exceptional. We report ...

Lung resection for bronchogenic carcinoma after pneumonectomy: a safe and worthwhile procedure.

OBJECTIVES Patients treated surgically for lung cancer can develop either a metachronous cancer or a recurrence. The appearance of a new cancer on the remaining lung after a pneumonectomy poses unique treatment problems, and surgery is often considered contraindicated. We report on the outcome of resections for lung cancer after pneumonectomy performed for lung cancer. METHODS We reviewed the...

Results of Lobectomy and Pneumonectomy in Pulmonary TB

Background: The results of lobectomy and pneumonectomy in treating various benign and malignant lesions of lung have been reported. The complications and results of such procedures in the presence of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) have been described in older texts. However these reports have lessened due to the decrease in the number of patients seen over the last decades. Thus, it's not clear th...
