Abstract

In 1947 the first bronchoplasty took place to remove a benign tumor [1]. Thereafter, in 1959 the first bronchial carcinoma was removed [2]. A right pneumonectomy with en-bloc resection of the carina was reported in 1950 [3]. Gibbon described in 1959 the first case of a right sleeve pneumonectomy [4] and in the eighties decade, Grillo and coworkers described carinal resections [5]. Pulmonary artery reconstruction for lung cancer was reported in 1950. During the 1970s and 1980s a few groups also described these procedures in a series of cases [6].
