Comparison of the surgical results of the parenchymal sparing lung surgery and pneumonectomy for non-small cell lung cancer
… has a higher perioperative mortality risk than lobectomy. To increase resection rates and improve outcomes we have implemented a policy of parenchymal sparing surgery for tumors involving a main stem bronchus and pulmonary artery. METHODS: From January 2000 to May 2004, 30 pneumonectomies and 30 …
