Throughout the last year significant advances in the operative technique and management of patients undergoing sleeve pneumonectomy, as well as better understanding of patient selection requirements, have led to improved perioperative and long-term results. Patients with N2 disease resistant to preoperative chemotherapy or chemo-/radiotherapy should be

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995
Occasional tumors arising in the upper lobes or in the origin of either main bronchus are localized sufficiently to permit curative resection by sleeve pneumonectomy. Operative mortality is significant, but it can be lowered by careful attention to surgical and anesthetic techniques.

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.

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: 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 ...

European Respiratory Journal, 1991
We report the case of a 61 yr old male, who developed a severe right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale, in the absence of elevated right-sided heart pressures, two months after a left-sided pneumonectomy. This is considered to be a rare complication after pneumonectomy.

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.

TECHNIQUES OF PNEUMONECTOMY: Pneumonectomy Through An Empyema
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999The practical management of the patient with a destroyed lung in association with a preexisting empyema, based on considerable experiences, is discussed. Control of infection before proceeding with pneumonectomy by adequate drainage of the empyema and control of tuberculosis and pneumonia, particularly on the opposite side, is stressed.

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.

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.
