title: [Parenchyma-preserving resection techniques for bronchial carcinoma (author's transl)].
abstract: Parenchyma-preserving resection techniques are grouped into two categories: (1) Broncho- and angioplastic resections that help avoid pneumonectomy and (2) Wedge or segment resections that help avoid lobectomy. The indications are: (a) Elderly patients (70 years); (b) Impaired respiratory reserve; (c) Palliative surgery; (d) Limited tumour growth. The analysis of 288 relevant cases yielded follow-up data in 232 cases: Survival and mortality of group I operations are comparable to those after (extended) pneumonectomy; higher tumour stages prevailed in the combined plastic surgery subgroup. The data of group II are similar to those with lobectomy; the relatively high local recurrence rates render group II operation techniques unreliable until more data are available.
