Totally endoscopic lobectomy and segmentectomy for congenital bronchial atresia

Serge Cappeliez et al. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. 2009 Jul.

Abstract

Congenital bronchial atresia is a congenital obliteration of a segmental or lobar bronchus resulting in an inflation of the correspondent parenchyma. It may lead to infectious complications and in the long-term to alteration of the adjacent lung parenchyma. As it usually occurs in young and healthy patients with normal lungs, this disorder is particularly suitable for a full endoscopic pulmonary resection. We report our recent experience of two lobectomies and one segmentectomy in three patients.
