Although bronchial sleeve resections were previously defined
as an alternative technique to pneumonectomy for patients
with limited pulmonary reserve, currently these resections
are applied as a standard even in patients having normal
pulmonary capacity. Pneumonectomy, itself, is a disease, and
sleeve lobectomies can be performed without compromising
oncological principles and without causing significant morbidity
and mortality. In parallel with the developments in surgical
techniques, bronchial sleeve resections can be performed by
videothoracoscopic and robotic surgeries. Major complications
in sleeve lobectomies are bronchial dehiscence, bronchopleural
fistulas, and broncho-arterial fistulas. Late complications are
bronchial stenosis and tumor recurrence.
