TECHNIQUES OF PNEUMONECTOMY: Sleeve Pneumonectomy

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999
Sleeve pneumonectomy is a technically demanding procedure, the indications of which include non-small bronchogenic tumors extending to the tracheobronchial bifurcation without diseased mediastinal nodes. Right sleeve pneumonectomies are best approached through an ipsilateral thoracotomy in the fifth (or fourth) intercostal space.

TECHNIQUES OF PNEUMONECTOMY: Completion Pneumonectomy

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999
Completion pneumonectomy refers to an operation intended to remove what is left of a lung partially resected during previous surgery. Completion pneumonectomy is a technically demanding procedure, which carries an increased operative mortality and morbidity.

TECHNIQUES OF PNEUMONECTOMY: Pneumonectomy Through An Empyema

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999
The 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.

The “Kergin pneumonectomy”

World Journal of Surgery, 1990
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 ...

INDICATIONS FOR PNEUMONECTOMY: Pneumonectomy For Malignant Disease

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999
The 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: Extrapleural Pneumonectomy

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999
Surgical 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 ...

INDICATIONS FOR PNEUMONECTOMY: Pneumonectomy For Benign Disease

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999
A 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: Standard Pneumonectomy

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1999
An 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, 2006
Intrapericardial 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, 1999
After 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.
