Abstract

Tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy, although technically demanding, is considered the choice for tracheobronchial angle cancers. Complications in our 49 tracheal sleeve pneumonectomies are reviewed. Results, complications, and technical aspects are critically discussed. Although series in the literature differ in selection of patients and surgical techniques and extend over long periods, we attempt to compare our experience with results from the literature.
