Compensatory lung growth in autologus lobar implant after pneumonectomy in dogs

Abstract: Purpose: Evaluate compensatory lung growth (CLG) in lobar transplant and see if it is similar to CLG after lobectomy. Methods: We used 48 dogs in three groups (G1=control, G2=left cranial lobectomy, and G3=pneumonectomy with reimplantation of left caudal lobe).
