Sleeve lobectomy for bronchogenic carcinoma is an alternative to pneumonectomy. The extent and location of the tumor must be such that a sleeve procedure is feasible. The conservation of lung tissue benefits both compromised and uncompromised patients. From August 1988 to March 1989, five patients underwent sleeve lobectomy for bronchogenic carcinoma of the lung. The patients included four males and one female ranging in age from 52 years to 66 years. All patients were diagnosed as having squamous cell carcinoma. Operative procedures were right upper sleeve lobectomy in four cases and left upper sleeve lobectomy with pulmonary angioplasty in one case. Complications developed in one patient. An asthmatic attack necessitated ventilator support for one day. Bronchoscopic examinations were performed at two weeks and three months postoperatively in four patients. Anastomosis sites on all patients were intact, but in one case, nodules were noted. Pulmonary function tests were also checked at three months postoperatively, and showed good results. The reimplanted lobe or lobes contribute significantly to the overall remaining lung function. All patients are being followed up with satisfactory results, except one case of suspected local tumor recurrence. We think, therefore, that sleeve lobectomy is a safe and adequate procedure for patients with resectable lung cancer.

Background: Sleeve lobectomy for lung cancer in close proximity to or involving the carina is widely accepted. Operative morbidity and mortality rates, recurrence, and survival rates have varied considerably across studies. Materials and Methods: From March of 2005 to July of 2010, sleeve lobectomy was performed in 19 patients and pneumonectomy was performed in 20 patients. In this paper, the results of sleeve lobectomy and pneumonectomy for patients with lung cancer will be compared and evaluated. Results: There were no postoperative complications in either group, but there was one mortality in the pneumonectomy group. There was better preservation of pulmonary function in the sleeve lobectomy group than the pneumonectomy group (p=0.066 in FVC, p=0.019 in FEV1). The 3-year survival rates were 46.7% in the sleeve lobectomy group and 54.5% in the pneumonectomy group (p=0.505). The 3-year disease-free survival rates were 38% in the sleeve lobectomy group and 45.8% in the pneumonectomy group (p=0.200). Conclusion: Sleeve lobectomy for lung cancer showed low mortality, low bronchial anastomotic complication rates, and good preservation of pulmonary function.

Thirteen patients with lung cancer have undergone bronchoplastic procedures from January 1991 to July 1994 in Kyung Hee univ. Hospital.Among them,twelve patients were male and one patient was female from 33 to 76 years of age.[ mean 56.6 11.5 years of age The pathologic diagnoses were squamous cell carcinoma in twelve patients and adenoid cystic carcinoma in one patient.The bronchoplastic procedures consisted of seven right upper sleeve lobectomies, one right middle sleeve lobectomy, one left lower sleeve lobectomy and four sleeve pneumonectomies. In these sleeve pneumonectomies, right sleeve pneumonectomy was done in three patients and the other was left sleeve pneumonectomy. Including the four sleeve pneumonectomies, carinoplasty was performed in seven patients. Postoperatively, we carried out bronchoscopic suction of intrabronchial secretions in necessary for the prevention of postoperative complication. All except one were discharged without any complication and have been in good condition. Postoperative mortality was in one patient who expired 25days after right middle sleeve lobectomy with respiratory failure.

Bronchoplastic and angioplastic operation in lung surgery is appropriate treatment for a wide range of benign endobronchial lesions and low grade malignancies. Between March 1990 to February 1994, four patients underwent bronchial sleeve resection and one patient received left upper lobe lobectomy with pulmonary artery angioplasty. Types of disease includes two cases of endobronchial tuberculosis and three cases of lung cancer. The main operation performed are one pneumonectomy, two right upper lobectomy and one each of left upper lobectomy and left lower lobectomy. All cases received sleeve resection not due to decreased respiratory reserve but due to anatomic suitability. One patient who received pneumonectomy had postoperative complication of empyema thoracis.

Sleeve resection is safe, effective, and appropriate treatment for a wide range of endo-bronchial lesions including neoplasms of low grade malignant potential and selected cases of bronchogenic carcinoma. Five cases of bronchoplastic procedures were performed for primary bronchogenic carcinoma patients at Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Chonbuk National University Hospital from Aug. 1983 to Oct. 1987. Of the 5 patients, four were male and one patient was female and ages ranged from 51 years to 66 years old. Histopathologically, 4 cases were squamous cell carcinoma and one case small cell carcinoma. Operative procedures of the 5 patients were as follows: Right upper sleeve lobectomy, 1 case; Left upper sleeve lobectomy, 1 case; left lower sleeve lobectomy, 1 case; Left lower lobe and lingular segment sleeve resection, 2 cases. The early and late postoperative complications of the above operations were pneumonia, atelectasis, bronchopleural fistula, empyema, brain metastasis, and local recurrence of primary tumor.

The technique of sleeve lobectomy has emerged as a relatively recent mode of excisional therapy. Acceptance of the technique has been slow because initially it has believed to be more difficult technically, to be associated with more complications, and be an inadequate operation for cancer. Sleeve lobectomy for bronchogenic carcinoma is an alternative to pneumonectomy. Four patients with bronchogenic carcinoma were treated by lobectomy with sleeve resection of the bronchus from 1986 to 1990. Three patients were male and one patient was female. Ages ranged from 43 years to 68 years. Symptoms were cough, sputum, blood tinged sputum, and dyspnea. Histopathologically, 3 cases were squamous cell carcinoma, 1 case was adenocarcinoma. Preoperative stage was stage I in 3 cases and stage II in 1 case. All of them were alive after operation.

A sleeve lobectomy is an appropriate operative procedure in patients with endobronchial neoplasms of low-grade malignancies in the proximal airways and for a small but significant number of patients with carcinoma. Here, we present eleven cases of sleeve lobectomy which were performed from 1984 to the August of 1991 in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Seoul National University Hospital. The sex distribution was 6 males and 5 females in the age range from twenty to sixty seven, with an average of 44.9 years. The pathologic diagnoses were 7 cases of pulmonary malignancies: carcinoid in two, mucoepidermoid carcinoma in two, adenoid cystic carcinoma in one, adenocarcinoma in one, and squamous carcinoma in one. Other diagnoses were two cases of tuberculous bronchial strictures and two cases of benign tumors: one case of pesudolymphoma and one case of neurilemmoma. The procedures consisted of five right upper sleeve lobectomies [Fig. 1], four left upper sleeve lovectomies [Fig. 2], one left lower sleeve lobectomy[Fig. 3], and one right middle and lower lobetomy [Fig. 4]. All except one had a normal preoperative pulmonary function. The case which had a poor pulmonary function was a 66-year-old female adenocarcinoma patient. She seemed to be very intolerable to pneumonectomy [predicted FEV1=0.60L]. Therefore, she had a right sleeve upper lobectomy and experienced smooth postoperative course without any pulmonary problems. All cases had good postoperative results and no postoperative complications.

연구배경: 비소세포성 폐암 수술시 sleeve 폐엽절제술은 가능한한 폐실질을 보존하기 위한 수술방법으로, 폐기능이 감소되어 있는 환자에서도 폐절제술을 시행할 수 있다. 그러나 sleeve 폐엽절제술 후 폐기능이 기대했던 것 만큼 보존되는지에 대한 국내의 보고가 없어 sleeve 폐엽절제술 후 폐기능의 보존정도에 대해 연구 하였다. 방법: 1995년부터 1998년까지 삼성서울병원에서 sleeve 폐엽절제술을 받은 폐암 환자중 수술 후 3개월 이후에 기관지내시경 검사, 폐기능검사를 시행받은 15명의 환자를 대상으로 수술 전 예상 $FEV_1$과 수술 후 실제 $FEV_1$과의 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 수술 전 예상 $FEV_1$은 수술 전 $FEV_1$에 수술 후 잔류폐엽의 폐관류 정도(%)를 곱한 값으로 계산하였다. 결과: 15명 환자의 연령의 중앙값은 58세(44세-70세)였고, 남녀비는 14:1이었다. 모두 비소세포성폐암이었으며 상피세포암이 13명, 선암이 2 명이었다. 우측 상엽 sleeve 폐업절제술이 8명, 우측 중엽과 하엽을 동시에 제거하는 양엽 sleeve 폐엽절제술이 3명, 좌측 상엽 sleeve 폐엽절제술이 4명이었다. 환자들의 수술 전 평균 $FEV_1$은 $2417{\pm}694mL$ 였고, sleeve 폐엽절제술을 받을 경우 예상 $FEV_1$용 $2180{\pm}570mL$ 였다. Sleeve 폐엽절제술 후 실제 $FEV_1$은 $2293{\pm}499mL$로 수술 전 예상 $FEV_1$과 의미있는 상관관계을 보여 (r = 0.67, P<0.05), 전폐절제술을 시행했을 때보다 폐기능을 보존할 수 있었다. 각 환자의 수술 전 $FEV_1$과 수술 후 실제 $FEV_1$을 비교해 보았을 때 수술 전 $FEV_1$이 적었던 (<2L) 4명의 환자에서는 오히려 수술 전보다 수술 후 $FEV_1$이 증가하였다. 결론: 폐암의 수술에 있어 sleeve 폐업절제술은 예상했던 것 만큼 폐기능이 잘 보존되었고, 특히 수술 전 폐기능이 저하되어 있는 환자에서 유용한 수술수기로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각 되었다.

Objective: To explore the feasibility of pulmonary lobectomy combined with pulmonary arterioplasty by complete video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in patients with lung cancer, and summarize its surgical methods. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients with lung cancer in Beijing Chest Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from Feb., 2010 to Jun., 2013 were selected, males and females accounting for 15 and 6 cases, respectively. Ten underwent right upper lobectomy, 5 right lower lobectomy, 4 left upper lobectomy (in which left upper sleeve lobectomy was conducted for 2) and 2 left lower lobectomy. At the same time, local resection of pulmonary arterioplasty was performed for 12 patients, and sleeve resection of pulmonary arterioplasty for 9. Results: Twenty-one patients recovered well after surgery. Thoracic drainage tube was maintained for 3-8 days, with an average of 4.9 days, and hospital stays were 8-15 days, with an average of 11 days. There were no deaths in the perioperative period, and the complications like pulmonary embolism, bronchopleural fistula, chest infection and pulmonary atelectasis did not occur after surgery. Conclusions: Performance of pulmonary lobectomy and pulmonary arterioplasty together by complete VATS is a safe and effective surgical method, which can expand the indications of patients with lung cancer undergoing thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy, and make more patients profit from such minimally invasive treatment.

기도에 발생하는 결핵의 후유증으로 종종 원위부 기관이나 주 기관지에 미만성 협착이 발생한다. 기관지 협착이 주 기관지에만 존재할 경우 기관지 소매 절제술로 치료할 수 있는데, 협착의 길이가 2cm 이내일 경우 기관지 소매 절제술을 시행하기에 좋은 대상이 된다. 그러나 협착의 길이가 긴 경우에는 기관지 소매 절제술을 시행하기 어렵거나 또는 불가능할 수 있어 전폐젤제술 또는 기관지내시경적 치료를 시행하기도 한다. 확대 소매 폐엽절제술은 기관지 성형술을 이용하여 한 개 이상의 폐엽을 절제하는 수술 방법으로 주로 국소적으로 진행된 폐암에서 전폐절제술을 피하기 위하여 시행되었다. 저자들은 기도 결핵의 후유증으로 우측 주 기관지, 중간 기관지, 우중엽 기관지 및 우하엽 기관지에 심한 협착이 존재하는 환자에 대해 확대 소매 폐엽절제술을 시행하여 좋은 치료 결과를 보인 증례를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.
