Double sleeve lung resections are complex surgical procedures
that require specialized surgical expertise and careful patient
selection. These procedures allow for the preservation of lung
tissue while still achieving complete tumor resection for central
tumors. Although initially considered high-risk operations,
double sleeve lung resections have become a viable option
for central tumors. Recent studies have shown that double
sleeve lung resections are associated with lower morbidity and
mortality rates than pneumonectomy. Furthermore, double
sleeve lung resections may be associated with similar or
even better long-term oncological outcomes compared to
pneumonectomy, with the added benefit of preserving lung
parenchyma and reducing the incidence of postoperative
complications.
