Abstract
The tissue preserving resections for non-small-cell bronchial carcinoma can be grouped into three main categories: I. bronchoplastic procedures, II. angioplastic procedures, and III. concomitant broncho- and angioplastic procedures, and into the subgroups, standard and extended sleeve resection. The indications are; elderly patients, impaired respiratory reserve, limited tumour growth, and palliative surgery. The analysis of 229 cases yielded follow-up data in 192. The estimated 5 years survival rate was 34 per cent, 19 per cent and 14 per cent in categories I, II and III, respectively. The decrease in survival was due to a greater tumour burden. The operative mortality rate was 8.9 per cent in category I and 17 per cent in category III, such being comparable with standard or extended pneumonectomy, respectively. Surgical techniques and postoperative complications are discussed.
