title: [Results and complications of bronchoplastic operations for bronchial cancer (author's transl)].
abstract: Among 1548 patients hospitalized from 1964 to 1975 for bronchial carcinoma, 779 underwent a brochopulmonary resection. Seventeen patients underwent bronchoplastic resections. The average hospital stay was 45 days which is explained by the frequency of postoperative complications (n = 8). The mortality during hospitalization was 11.5% and the 5 year survival rate was 18%. The survival curved was comparable to that of the patients who underwent a lobectomy or simple or enlarged radical pneumectomy. Actually, the average survival is 26 months and the comfort in these cases is impressive. We consider that the indication for these plastic resections should be extended to patients who are capable of tolerating a pneumectomy.
