Sleeve lobectomy after induction chemoradiotherapy.

OBJECTIVES The effect of induction chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on bronchial anastomoses remains uncertain. This prospective study aimed to assess the impact of neoadjuvant CRT on mortality, morbidity and survival following circular sleeve lobectomy (SL). METHODS All consecutive patients undergoing SL between June 2005 and December 2010 were prospectively included. Clinico-demographic variables we...

The treatment of bronchial carcinoma by lobectomy and sleeve resection of the main bronchus.

In 1947 Price Thomas performed a bronchotomy and removed a portion of the circumference of the wall of the right main bronchus for an adenoma, performing a plastic repair of the bronchus (Price Thomas, 1956). The patient had a straightforward convalescence, with good primary union of the bronchus, and has continued to make good use of both lungs ever since. The procedure has been repeated with ...

Sleeve lobectomy, segmentectomy, and thoracoscopy in the management of carcinoma of the lung.

In patients with lung cancer, the goals of limited resection procedures of the lung and major airways are to provide an adequate cancer operation while preserving functioning lung tissue. Discussed in this article are sleeve lobectomy, an alternative to pneumonectomy in patients with cancer in a lobar orifice; segmentectomy or wedge resection, an alternative to lobectomy in those with a periphe...
