INDICATIONS FOR PNEUMONECTOMY: Pneumonectomy For Benign Disease
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999A wide variety of nonmalignant diseases of the lung require pneumonectomy. Pneumonectomy for inflammatory lung disease is frequently associated with high morbidity rates, and the frequencies of postpneumonectomy space empyema and bronchopleural fistula are high.

TECHNIQUES OF PNEUMONECTOMY: Drainage After Pneumonectomy
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999After most pneumonectomies, the pleural space can be safely closed without drainage. If a chest tube must be used, a balanced drainage system is recommended. This article specifically addresses some of the controversial issues in the early management of the postpneumonectomy space.

INDICATIONS FOR PNEUMONECTOMY: Pneumonectomy For Malignant Disease
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999The anatomic extent of a pulmonary malignancy usually dictates the need for pneumonectomy to achieve a complete resection. The requirement for a pneumonectomy can frequently be predicted by accurate clinical staging, but may also be required due to intraoperative findings relating to tumor invasion or nodal spread.

AbstractOut of a series of 211 stage III (A and B) lung cancers radically resected with routine lymphadenectomy from 1971 to 1987, a total of 11 were squamous cell carcinomas invading the right main bronchus and lateral portion of the trachea. These patients were managed using a particular technique that we have always arbitrarily called, “Kergin ...

Extrapericardial pneumonectomy
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2005Presentation of the technique of extrapericardial left and right standard pneumonectomy. After insertion of a disposable double-lumen endotracheal tube, the patient is positioned in lateral decubitus and a lateral thoracotomy is performed. One-lung ventilation is started after a thorough identification is performed followed by systematic nodal ...

TECHNIQUES OF PNEUMONECTOMY: Standard Pneumonectomy
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999An understanding of the anatomical, three-dimensional organization of the pulmonary hilum is the foundation necessary for pneumonectomy. The incision type and sequence of control of hilar structure are determined by anatomic position, extent of tumor, and patient safety factors.

Intrapericardial pneumonectomy
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2006Intrapericardial pneumonectomy is a major thoracic surgical procedure which is employed to resect locally advanced bronchogenic carcinoma. The procedure differs slightly in the left side than in the right side due to the anatomical differences of the two pulmonary hila and adjacent mediastinal structures.

INDICATIONS FOR PNEUMONECTOMY: Extrapleural Pneumonectomy
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999Surgical resection is considered a mainstay for the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), but the indications for extrapleural pneumonectomy in this disease remain controversial. In general terms, an operation contributes to cancer management if it can be performed with low morbidity and mortality and improves local control, overall ...

Sleeve pneumonectomy remains a surgical challenge with specific problems of intraoperative surgical and anesthesiologic management. In the present chapter we expose the techniques currently employed in our institution. Sleeve pneumonectomy is associated with a non-negligible mortality, with figures ranging from 8% to 15%.

Lung cancer involving the carina can be treated by surgery, but patients must be carefully selected before the operation. Because pneumonectomy is required in addition to carinal resection, patients must be able to withstand the procedure, and they must be told that the operative mortality is 2 to 4 times higher than what is expected after standard ...
