[Wedge-lobe-resection of the bronchogenic cancer (author's transl)].
It is reported about 70 patients with bronchogenic cancer during the period of 1967 to 1978, which were treated by a wedge-lobe-resection of cardiorespiratory reasons. The results of this operation method don't stand behind those of lobe- respectively pneumonectomy. The reasons are the comparatively lower operation stress and the smaller loss of lung parenchyma. In critical use the economic method of treatment presents a true alternative treatment on patients with increased risk, though it should not remove the classic resection methods.
