A cir­cumferential anastomosis is then carried out between the proximal mainstem bronchus and lower lobe bronchus using interrupted 3-0 polyglycolic sutures. If necessary, the repair can be buttressed through the use of parietal pleura or inter­costal muscle.

LEFT LOBECTOMY WITH CHEST WALL RESECTION
Occasionally, lung cancer locally invades the chest wall which must then be resected en bloc with the involved lobe. If this type of resection has been anticipated through the review of the CT scan or because the patient presents with chest pain, the pleural space is entered one or two intercostal spaces below the area where the tumor is invading the ribs. The chest wall dissection and resection is then done prior to exposure of the hilum or suturing of blood vessels. Ribs should be divided at least 5 cm away from the margins of the tumor. It is also recommended to remove one rib below and one rib above the site of involvement. This technique is facilitated by lifting the scapula away from the ribs. When the chest wall is completely freed, it falls down into the pleural space along with the rest of the lung, and the lobectomy can be carried out in the fashion previously described. The chest wall is only repaired when the scapula does not cover the defect, and in such cases, a pros­thetic mesh is used.
Intraoperative maneuvers useful to decrease complications after lobectomy
One of the most common complication of lobectomies is a persistent air leak (> 7 days) with or without residual space. This problem is commonly due to incomplete lung reexpan­sion; and indeed, air leaks tend to be minimal when the lung
is completely reexpanded because the parenchyma is in con­tact with the parietal pleural where it creates an inflammatory reaction which tends to seal the air leak.
When full reexpansion appears possible, prolonged air leaks can be prevented by careful suturing of parenchymal tears or by the use of staples, reinforced staples, or biological glues over suture lines and fissures. When full reexpansion does not appear possible, for example after combined left lower lobectomy and lingulectomy, one can reduce the “boundaries” of the pleural space through the use of a pleural tent (after upper lobectomy) or pneumoperitoneum after left lower lobectomy. This latter technique has never been popu­larized but can at times be very useful. A small catheter is inserted intraoperatively through the diaphragm into the peritoneal cavity. This catheter is brought out through a sep­arate skin incision adjacent to the chest tube, and it is attached to a three-way stopcock. If a residual space is present despite proper pleural space drainage, air can be injected into the peritoneal cavity in order to elevate the hemidiaphragm and help collapse this space.
Although phrenic crush techniques are no longer used, the hemidiaphragm can be raised by injecting a local anesthetic agent such as marcaine in the fatty tissues located around the phrenic nerve above the diaphragm. In the majority of cases, this technique will create a temporary paralysis of the diaphragm which may be useful to collapse a potential residual space.

If necessary, the liga­mentum arteriosum can be divided in order to increase the length of the main artery available for dissection and division.

and divided. Sometimes, it is easier to divide the superior vein first in order to gain access to the main PA. The inferior vein is then located at the base of the hilum after division of the inferior pulmonary ligament and it is mobilized, stapled, and divided. An umbilical tape is then passed around the left main bronchus which is freed posteriorly and anteriorly up to the carina where the stapler is applied and the bronchus divided. During this dissection, great care must be taken not to injure the esophagus which is located immediately behind the bronchus. Sometimes we ask the anesthetist to withdraw the double-lumen tube in the trachea in order to increase the mobility of the carina. We seldom recover the left main bronchus because its stump retracts underneath the aortic arch which acts as autologous tissue. This situation is differ­ent than on the right side where the pneumonectomy stump is free in the pleural space.

INTRAPERICARDIAL PNEUMONECTOMY
The opening of the pericardium greatly facilitates access
7
to the main pulmonary blood vessels especially when the tumor is centrally located and/or is very large. The peri­cardium is usually opened anterior to the phrenic nerve, and the incision is carried upwards to the aorta. The PA is mobi­lized first and, to improve access, the pericardial incision is carried right up to its reflection over the PA. This maneuver will lead the operator directly to the adventitia of the artery which can be opened, and the PA is fully mobilized and sta­pled. Once the artery has been secured, the access to the pul­monary veins becomes much easier.
In cases of intrapericardial pneumonectomy, we try to divide only one of the two pulmonary veins within the pericardium in the hope to prevent postpneumonectomy cardiac hernia­tion (the vein which is divided extrapericardially will anchor the heart and prevent its herniation). Once the lung has been removed, it is also important to close the pericardium in order to prevent herniation of the heart which is fatal in the majority of cases. This goal is accomplished with interrupted nonabsorbable sutures.

this type of operation include lung cancer in compromised individuals and bronchiectasis or tuberculosis limited to one segment.
The principles involved in the resection of pulmonary seg­ments are similar to those used for lobectomy, although the surgery is done in two rather than three phases. The first step is the identification of the artery and bronchus (bronchovas­cular pedicle), while the second step consists of retrograde dissection starting at the hilum and following the plane of the intersegmental vein which must stay with the remaining lung. Most surgeons now use staplers to divide the intersegmental plane rather than the more classic finger dissection while the anesthetist inflates the lung.

POSTOPERATIVE CARE
Tube drainage
After lobectomy or segmentectomy, one or two chest tubes are left in the pleural space. If two tubes are used, one is placed anteriorly and at the apex, and the second one is posi­tioned inferiorly and posteriorly. The chest tubes are con­nected to an active suction system usually with –20 cm of water suction. They are removed when there is no longer an air leak and when the amount of fluid drainage is below 200 ml/24 hours.
Most surgeons do not drain pneumonectomy spaces because drainage through a water seal system can lead to an extreme mediastinal shift and overexpansion of the remain­ing lung. Instead of drainage, we recommend aspirating 1000–1200 ml of air from the space in order to position the mediastinum as much as possible in the midline. Other options are to leave a chest tube which is removed when the patient is turned over onto his or her back or is clamped until the following morning. Possible indications to leave a drain­ing chest tube are a high risk of postoperative hemorrhage or bronchopleural fistula. Balanced drainage systems are cur­rently used by only a handful of surgeons.
Analgesia
The methods used to control postoperative pain have changed considerably over the years, but their purpose has remained the same. They must provide proper analgesia so that the patient can have more efficient breathing and cough­ing. To do so, a proper balance must be reached between too much analgesia which will sedate the patient and not enough which will make the patient uncooperative.
The most commonly used technique is that of epidural anal­gesia with the drugs being administered at the lumbar or tho­racic levels. For most patients, this method provides good pain control although side-effects such as nausea, itching, urinary retention, and even drowsiness are common. The epidural catheter is inserted prior to operation and left for 3–4 days postoperatively. When the catheter is removed, the patient is started on narcotics given subcutaneously or by mouth.
Drug management
All patients are given heparin subcutaneously as a prophy­laxis against deep vein thrombosis. Patients are also given antibiotics for 2–3 days after operation. Oxygen is given to titrate saturation at 92% or higher. Although bronchodila­tion drugs can be added, the best way to improve respiratory efficacy is through active physiotherapy and use of incentive spirometry which are started the evening of the operation. If mucous and sputum retention do occur, we do not hesitate to perform bedside bronchoscopy or even insert a minitra­cheotomy for the sole purpose of suctioning. After left-sided
resections, it is not uncommon to have vocal cord paralysis because of accidental or deliberate trauma to the recurrent nerve. Unfortunately, no early solution exists for this prob­lem, and one must be aware that these patients are more likely to have respiratory and coughing difficulties.
Although arrhythmias are a common problem after pneu­monectomy (incidence of 15–20%), it is generally not recom­mended to use prophylactic antiarrhythmic medication prior to surgery.
OUTCOME
Early
The accepted mortality rate for left pneumonectomy is in the range of 5–6%, and most causes of death are respiratory. These problems include infectious complications, pulmonary embolism, and postpneumonectomy edema. Fatal cardiovas­cular events are relatively uncommon. Risk factors for mor­tality after pneumonectomy include age of the patient, preoperative cardiopulmonary compromise, extent of resec­tion, and associated comorbidities such as diabetes.
For lobectomy, whether upper, lower, or associated with sleeve resection, the operative mortality is in the neighbor­hood of 2.5–3%. Common complications include prolonged air leaks, arrhythmias, and respiratory events. Broncho­pleural fistulae (BPF) are uncommon if bronchial closure is handled with care. The incidence is less than 3% after pneu­monectomy and less than 1% after lobectomy. Once the diag­nosis is made, BPF can be treated in a variety of ways. BPF are seldom a cause of death although they usually are associated with prolonged morbidity.
Late
In lung cancer, long-term results reflect the stage of disease rather than the extent of operation. Since pneumonectomies are done for higher stages of disease, 5-year survival results are worse than what is seen after lobectomy and are in the range of 20–25%. By comparison, 5-year survival after sleeve resec­tions of the left lung is approximately 50%. The use of adju­vant treatments either as induction or postoperatively has not changed those results. In most series, patients with squamous cell carcinoma do better than those with adenocarcinomas.
In general, operation on the left lung can be done quite safely if the operating surgeon follows a methodical approach for the mobilization of bronchovascular pedicles. As a whole, they are technically easier than similar procedures on the right side, and they are better tolerated. Indeed, the incidence of major morbidity or mortality is less after left pneumonec­tomy than after right pneumonectomy. Special attention must be given to preserve the recurrent nerve which is much more accessible to trauma on the left side than on the right side.

HISTORY
Early attempts at tracheal resection were timid, limited to 2 cm or less of the trachea and frequently less than circumfer­ential. More extensive resections were attempted, exploring the use of various prostheses and homograft techniques. The results with such techniques were poor, adversely affected by failure of healing and granulation tissue ingrowth. The mod­ern era of tracheal surgery began when Dr H.C. Grillo and colleagues undertook a series of cadaveric studies to establish the length of trachea that could be safely resected with end­to-end anastomosis. These studies were confirmed by surgical series in which he and Dr F.G. Pearson developed and expanded surgical techniques. These pioneers established the general principles of this surgery; the length of trachea that could be safely resected, and the ancillary measures required allowing tension-free anastomosis. Although some have tried to extend these limits by developing newer prosthetic materi­als, these have not proven to be safe.
PRINCIPLES
Segmental resection of the trachea is appropriate for benign or malignant conditions affecting the trachea from the cricoid cartilage to the carina. Below this level carinal resec­tion and reconstruction is possible. Such conditions include fibrous stricture following intubation or tracheostomy, benign tumors of the airways such as carcinoid tumors and malignant tumors, chiefly squamous carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma. To be suitable for resection the disease process has to be limited to a length of trachea that can be safely resected, and the patient must be sufficiently fit to tol­erate such surgery safely. As a general rule 50% of the trachea can be resected and repaired by end-to-end anastomosis. This
length may be slightly greater in a young child and slightly less in an older person. As one approaches these limits various release procedures are helpful to enable end-to-end anasto­mosis without undue tension.
A cervical approach allows resection of airway pathology affecting the distal larynx, the cervical trachea, and all but the distal 2–3 cm of the intrathoracic trachea. If this segment is involved then a thoracic approach is to be preferred, allowing carinal reconstruction, if necessary. The approach used will be influenced somewhat by the pathology. The length of air­way to be resected can be more reliably determined for benign pathology. The margins of resection for malignant disease are less predictable and the surgeon will have to plan to allow for wider resection if necessary.
The choice of relieving procedure will, to some extent, also be influenced by the incision used.
In planning the surgical approach consideration must be given to the alternatives available to allow continued ventila­tion during resection and reconstruction. The use of car­diopulmonary bypass has been tried in the past but has been rendered obsolete by alternatives that do not require heparinization.
Prophylactic antibiotics should be given for any operation on the airway, and anaerobic cover is added if there is severe obstruction or necrotic tumor.
As the surgeon will understandably restrict the length of resection to the minimum, the use of frozen section examina­tion is recommended when undertaking airway resection for tumors, especially adenoid cystic carcinoma with its propen­sity for microscopic intramural extension.
For patients who are unfit for surgery, or whose disease is too extensive to permit resection, there are many alternative techniques. The appropriate technique will vary depending upon the site, length, and pathology of the stricture, and include radiotherapy and a wide range of surgical procedures
