Abstract:
Postpneumonectomy syndrome is a rare complication of pneumonectomy and is characterized by progressive dyspnea, stridor, and repeated chest infections. It is caused by displacement and rotation of the mediastinal structures into the pneumonectomy space, producing compression and malacic changes in the trachea and remaining bronchus. We report the successful long-term results of mediastinal correction, cardiopexy and plombage with saline breast prostheses in a 59-year-old man after right pneumonectomy for carcinoma of the lung.
