[Reconstruction of trachea, carina and bronchus for tumors of the trachea, carina and lung].
This paper reports on 70 patients with tumors of the trachea, bronchus and lung treated by reconstruction of the trachea, carina and the main bronchus (21 cases) and sleeve lobectomy (49 cases). Postoperatively, 2 patients died of tracheo-innominate artery fistula and 2 developed empyema which was healed. There was no mortality in the sleeve lobectomy patients. The 3- and 5-year survival rates of the cancer patients treated by reconstruction of trachea, carina and main bronchus were 54.5%(6/11) and 33.3%(3/9), respectively. The 3- and 5-year survival rates of lung cancer patients treated by sleeve lobectomy were 46.6% (14/30) and 33.3% (7/21), respectively.
