[Bronchoplastic surgery in lung cancer surgery]

Abstract

Bronchoplastic interventions allow extending indications for radical conserving surgery and, avoiding pneumonectomy, increasing a number of operated patients, reducing the fre- quency complications and postoperative mortality, significantly improving the quality of life as well as the conditions of reha- bilitation of patients and long-term results, which of particular importance for those with limited functional reserves. However some technical aspects of the bronchial reconstructive surgery are still unresolved and require further enhancement.
