Özet

Background. Bronchoplastic techniques are used commonly for the surgical treatment of benign or low-grade malignant neoplasms as a means of sparing healthy lung parenchyma. Because of technical difficulties, however, standard lobectomy or segmentectomy procedures are performed for the neoplasms localized in distally located tumors. We present the clinical and surgical data of 12 patients who underwent a unique surgical procedure, called by the authors of this article "segmental bronchial sleeve resection," without any pulmonary resection.
