Abstract
Our objective was to summarize our experience with tracheobronchial reconstructions using bronchoplastic closure for airway defects after noncircumferential resections of bronchogenic carcinoma involving the carina or tracheobronchial angle. From January 1990 to December 2005, all patients who underwent tracheobronchial reconstructions with bronchoplastic closure for bronchogenic carcinoma involving the carina or tracheobronchial angle were included. The clinical data for patients were collected retrospectively, including demographic characteristics, occurrences of postoperative complications, and survival. A total of 40 patients were eligible, including 23 who had right pneumonectomies, 6 who had right upper lobectomies, and 11 who had left pneumonectomies, associated with lower lateral wall of the trachea resections or with partial carinal resections for centrally localized tumors. The airway defects ranged from 0.5×2 cm to 2×4 cm and involved up to 50% of the airway circumference. Microscopic residual disease was found postoperatively at the bronchial margin in 20% (8/40). Of 40 patients, 2 (5.0%) had pulmonary atelectasis develop, 2 (5.0%) arrhythmia, 2 (5.0%) bronchopleural fistula, and 1 (2.5%) airway stenosis after opera...Continue Reading
