title: [Tracheo-bronchoplasty: a report of 99 cases].
abstract: This paper reported 99 patients (10 with benign lesions and 89 malignant tumors) treated by tracheo-bronchoplasty. Postoperative complications occurred in 11 patients. Of whom 5 died of bronchovascular fistulas, respiratory failure, empyema, or spontaneous pneumothorax. On follow-up, among 13 patients with tracheal carcinoma treated by tracheal and/or carinal reconstructions, 4 lived for more than 5 years, 2 more than 3 years, 1 less than 1 year, and 6 died within 2 years. The survival rates of patients with bronchoplasty for lung cancer were 64.5% and 42.9% at 3 and 5 years, respectively.
