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.

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.

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.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma usually grows in the trachea or near its bifurcation and causes obstruction of the air way. We recently experienced a 33 year-old male patient who had adenoid cystic carcinoma in the left main bronchus with the chief complaint of productive cough. On the bronchoscopy, the mass obstructed the left main bronchus completely and had nodularity and increased vascularity.The trachea was shifted to the left side and the lower lobe of the left lung was atelectatic on chest X-ray and computed axial tomogram.He underwent left tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy and lymph node dissection through bilateral thoracotomy. At first,we attempted left tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy through the left thoracotomy,however, it was very difficult to perform carinoplastic procedure after sleeve resection of 2.5cm of distal trachea and 1cm of proximal right main bronchus including whole left lung because of poor operative field and difficulty in the anastomosis of the right main bronchus to the distal end of the trachea without tension.Therefore after radical resection of the left lung we made right thoracotomy,through which we could anastomosed the distal trachea and right main bronchus with 4-0 PDS interrupted suture after mobilization of the right hilum without difficulty. The tumor was confirmed to be adenoid cystic carcinoma with metastasis to subcarinal lymph node histopathologically. Postoperative course was uneventful but he needed two bronchoscopic procedure to clear distal airway of the retained bronchial secretion. He was discharged at 14 days after operation with complete recovery.

Bronchoplastic procedure has been considered as an appropriate surgery for traumatic bronchial disruption and occasionaly for primary bronchial tumors or tuberculosis because it can bring preservation of pulmonary tissue for patients without compromising the chance for cure. Nowadays bronchoplastic procedure is also applicable for the selected cases of bronchogenic carcinomas with favorable long term survival, when compared to standard pneumonectomy.Eighteen bronchoplastic procedures were performed with or without pulmonary resection at Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Catholic University Medical College, between 1990 and 1994. The patients were 11 men and 7 wemen with average age of 57 years [range, 19 to 71 years . Tumor comprised 56% of the lesions, including 6 squamous cell carcinoma [33% , 2 bronchial adenoma [11% , 1 leiomyoma and 1 metastatic osteogenic sarcoma. Cicatrical stenosis secondary to endobronchial tuberculosis and traumatic disruption occurred in 6 [33% and 1 patient respectively.Applied bronchoplastic procedures were as follows ; sleeve lobectomy, 8 cases [right upper : 6, left upper : 1, right middle : 1 : bronchial segmental resection without pulmonary resection, 2 cases : sleeve bi-lobectomy, 1 cases :patch dilating bronchoplasty with or without concomitant lobectomy in 7. There was no perioperative mortality. Morbidity in 4 patients included 1 transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, 1 unstability of bronchial patch resulting atelectasis of afftected lung and 2 bronchial stenosis of anastomotic site.Throughout our experiences, we feel strongly that bronchoplastic procedure is a safe and effective surgical method preserving normal pulmonary tissue below affected bronchus for the wide range of various bronchial lesion including selected cases of bronchogenic carcinoma with acceptable complication and mortality.

Bronchoplastic techniques represent the ideal surgical therapy for benign endobronchial tumors as well as tumors of low-grade malignant potential, such as bronchial adenomas, and for repair of traumatic airway injuries and benign strictures. This approach is also applicable to a select group of patients with carcinoma of the lung, with long-term survival being comparable to that achieved by standard pneumonectomy. Five bronchoplastic procedures were performed at Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital during 7 months periods from Dec. 1984 to Jun. 1985. Of the 5 patients, 3 patients were male and 2 patients were female and ages ranged from 8 years to 55 years old. The final diagnoses of 5 patients were as followed; traumatic bronchostenosis, endobronchial tuberculoma, carcinoid tumor, tuberculous bronchostenosis and traumatic bronchial fracture. Operative procedures of 5 patients were as followed; resection and end-to-end anastomosis of right main bronchus, left lower lobectomy and wedge resection of bronchus, left upper sleeve lobectomy, right middle and lower sleeve lobectomy and resection and end-to-end anastomosis of left main bronchus. And 2 lungs and 3 lobes could be preserved by these bronchoplastic procedures. There was no post-operative complication or mortality and all patients are being followed up without specific problem.

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.

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.
