This study details surgical airway reconstructions including terminal mediastinal tracheostomy (TMT) and laryngotracheal anastomosis (LTT), alongside lung cancer resections (SS, WS) and carinal reconstructions (CR). These advanced techniques successfully managed complex airway conditions and lung cancers, preserving pulmonary function.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pulmonary Medicine

Context:

  • Complex airway reconstructions and lung cancer resections present significant surgical challenges.
  • Limited pulmonary function necessitates tailored surgical approaches for lung cancer.
  • Tuberculous stenosis of the bronchus requires specialized reconstructive techniques.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of various surgical airway reconstructions and lung cancer resections.
  • To present modified techniques for terminal mediastinal tracheostomy (TMT) and laryngotracheal anastomosis (LTT).
  • To assess the utility of sleeve or wedge segmentectomy (SS, WS) for lung cancer in patients with compromised pulmonary function.
  • To describe carinal reconstructions (CR) for tuberculous stenosis, including novel subaortic arch anastomosis approaches.

Summary:

  • The study reports on 10 cases of TMT, 7 of LTT, 5 of SS/WS for lung cancer, and 5 of CR for tuberculous bronchial stenosis.
  • Modified TMT procedures showed no innominate artery rupture or stenosis. LTT by Pearson's procedure was associated with telescoped anastomosis.
  • SS and WS preserved pulmonary function in lung cancer patients. Single stomal CR effectively salvaged the left lung in tuberculous stenosis cases.
  • Two subaortic arch anastomosis techniques (Pull-down and Pull-up) were proposed for CR, with Pull-down offering better exposure without sacrificing intercostal arteries.

Impact:

  • Surgical indications for airway reconstruction were expanded by TMT and LTT.
  • SS and WS provide options for limited lung cancer operations in patients with low pulmonary function.
  • Single stomal CR is effective for tuberculous left main bronchus stenosis.
  • These techniques collectively enhance the management of diverse and complex thoracic surgical conditions.
