  • Lung cancer is the most common indication for pneumonectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications and outcomes of pneumonectomy.
  • To highlight the role of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies in lung cancer surgery.
  • To discuss the application of pneumonectomy in other conditions like mesothelioma and tuberculosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical data and outcomes.
  • Analysis of treatment protocols including adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies.
  • Evaluation of surgical management for diverse pulmonary pathologies.

Main Results:

  • Pneumonectomy is frequently performed for lung cancer, with improving long-term results due to enhanced protocols.
  • The procedure shows encouraging outcomes for lung metastases and mesothelioma.
  • Pneumonectomy is also utilized for resistant mycobacterial infections and tuberculosis complications.

Conclusions:

  • Pneumonectomy remains a critical intervention for lung cancer and selected other thoracic diseases.
  • Advancements in neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies are enhancing patient outcomes.
  • Careful patient selection and management are crucial for successful pneumonectomy, despite potential complications like fistulae and empyema.
