Carinal resections are frequently performed for carinal tumors.
Resection of the carina due to distal tracheal tumors may be
required, and the extension of main bronchial tumors to the
carina may lead to carinal resection. This is one of the rarely
performed operations in thoracic surgery, which is technically
challenging and has a high complication rate. In the early
series, perioperative mortality rate was reported as 29%
and the five-year survival rate as 15%. Due to its technical
difficulties and high complication rates, it is performed only
in certain centers. In this review, we discuss techniques related
to carinal sleeve resection and prognostic factors in the light
of literature data.
