[Right pneumonectomy for carcinoma with resection of the carena and left tracheo-bronchial anastomosis: 3 cases (author's transl)].
Extended pneumonectomy for carcinoma is associated with very poor results. However, a tumour which remains limited to the bronchial tree does not perhaps have such a poor prognosis as those which involve neighbouring organs. Valuable survival periods may be obtained after right pneumonectomy with resection of the carena. The authors here report 3 cases, including 2 with survivals of 10 and 8 years respectively.
