Postoperative ischemic change in bronchial stumps after primary lung cancer resection

Abstract

Surgeons must bear in mind the possibility of POIB occurrence, especially in cases undergoing particular types of lobectomy (right middle and lower, left upper, right lower or right middle) accompanied by subcarinal LND and having postoperative respiratory complications. Moreover, in appropriate groups with tumors of the right upper lobe or left upper segment, limited mediastinal LND might allow avoidance of POIB.

Anterior Thoracoscopic Subcarinal Nodal Dissection: A Better Approach?

“…Although our overall fistula rate is officially 0.25%, it is in fact 0% on the left side. Thus our rate compares most favorably with the 3.4% rate reported in the literature for lobectomy on the left side [3].…”

Mortality and morbidity after surgical treatment in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer: the role of age

“…[7][8][9] Yaşlanma sonucu oluşan kardiyovasküler sistem ve respiratuvar sistemdeki fizyolojik değişiklikler ve yaşlılarda artmış olan diyabet, böbrek ve karaciğer hastalıkları nedeniyle yapılan cerrahi tedavi sonrası yaşamı tehdit edebilen pulmoner emboli gibi birçok komplikasyonun görülme riski artmaktadır. [3,[10][11][12][13] Bu nedenlerle yaşlı hastalarda KHDAK nedeniyle uygulanan cerrahi tedavi sonrası morbidite ve mortalite oranlarının yaş ile etkilenip etkilenmediğini açıklamaya yönelik birçok çalışma yapılmıştır.

The necessity of mediastinal lymph node resection for screen-diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) manifesting as subsolid nodule

“…The necessity of mediastinal lymph node resection for screendiagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) manifesting as subsolid nodule stump, chyle leaks, longer operative time, chest tube drainage, and nerve injury (6,7). Due to such dichotomous nature of MLNR, clinicians have always needed to balance the benefits and risks of performing parenchymal resection with MLNR.…”
