Once the procedure has been performed, bilateral pleural thoracostomy tubes are placed with additional mediastinal tubes as needed. The ribs are reapproximated with heavy paracostal sutures. These sutures are placed but not tied. Two sternal wires are used to bring the sternal edges together, and then the paracostal sutures are tied. The muscles and soft tis­sues are reapproximated.
Thoracosternotomy
A thoracosternotomy is usually performed in the opera-
5
tive management of anterior mediastinal tumors. The incision is carried along the ipsilateral sternocleidomastoid to the sternal notch down to the level of the inframammary fold. It then follows the contour of the inframammary fold across to the anterior axillary line. The incision is then deepened with cautery through the fascia down to the middle of the sternum. Inferiorly, the fascia is divided below the breast. The pectoralis muscle overlying the fourth ICS is divided exposing the underlying chest wall. The fourth intercostal space is entered laterally and the incision continued medially. Usually, it is necessary to divide the mammary vessels. Next, the sternal saw is used to divide the sternum to the level of the fourth intercostal space and is then brought across the remaining sternum. A Ruhltract retractor is used to elevate the chest wall and provide exposure of the anterior medi­astinum and thoracic cavity.

After performing the procedure, the sternum is reapproxi­mated with number 5 wires, and the ribs are reapproximated with a large absorbable suture. Again, the paracostal sutures are placed but not tied. The sternal wires are placed. The mus­cle and soft tissues are closed in the usual fashion.
Anterior mediastinotomy
This incision is used to biopsy nodes or masses in the
6
superior mediastinum. A 2-cm incision is made overly­ing the second costal cartilage, and the subcutaneous tissues are divided. The muscle fibers of the pectoralis major are divided exposing the periosteum overlying the second rib. The periosteum is incised and dissected away from the rib. Once it has been circumferentially dissected, a portion of the costal margin is resected. The posterior perichondrium is divided, and the underlying pleura is reflected laterally if not previously displaced. The mammary vessels may be retracted medially or ligated if hindering exposure.
6
The mass is palpated, and biopsies are taken. We usually use a biopsy forceps. During this procedure, one must work closely with the pathologist in order to determine when an adequate amount of tissue has been taken to obtain a diagno­sis. For lymphomas, at times at least a gram of tissue may be necessary. If a mass is not readily palpable, the deeper space can be explored with the aid of a mediastinoscope.
This procedure may also be performed through the second intercostal space. One must work medially to stay out of the pleural space. If the pleural space is inadvertently entered, the residual air may be evacuated at the time of closure by reap­proximating the tissues over a red rubber catheter.
Transcervical approach
This incision is used for a transcervical thymectomy or to biopsy or resect small anterior mediastinal masses. The patient is placed on an inflatable pillow, and the head is fully extended as if performing a mediastinoscopy. The chest is prepped and draped from the chin to the umbilicus in case of
the need for a sternotomy. Initially, a curvilinear incision is made just above the heads of the clavicle. The platysma is divided with electrocautery. The strap muscles are incised along the midline and retracted laterally. The sternal ligament is divided, and the substernal space is bluntly dissected.
Details of the transcervical thymectomy are found in Chapter 5 on thymectomy. If proceeding with a biopsy, the polytrac retractor is positioned under the sternum, and the inflatable pillow is decompressed. Anterior mediastinal masses can be palpated and biopsied or resected. After per­forming the procedure, the strap muscles and platysma are reapproximated. The skin is closed with a running subcuticu­lar suture.
Cervicothoracic approach to the apex
Currently, this incision is preferred for the operative manage­ment of apical lung tumors. It can also be used for high pos­terior neurogenic tumors, as well as exposure to the upper thoracic vertebrae or arterial reconstructions.
The patient is placed in the supine position with a
https://t.me/med1917

shoulder roll behind the scapulae and the head turned to the contralateral side. An “L” shaped skin incision is made, coursing along the edge of the inferior border of the stern­ocleidomastoid, to the sternal notch, and then gently curving infraclavicularly out to the deltopectoral groove. The subcu­taneous tissues are divided. The pectoralis and subclavius are dissected away from the clavicle. The superior border of the medial clavicle is dissected by dividing its attachment to the sternocleidomastoid. The head of the clavicle is divided in a horizontal fashion with the oscillating saw. This maneuver allows for a more stable reapproximation of the clavicle at the end of the procedure. The Ruhltract retractor is inserted to elevate the clavicle, and the sternocleidomastoid is further mobilized. This step exposes the distal brachiocephalic, inter­nal jugular, and subclavian veins. Once this has been done, the chest is entered by incising the intercostal muscle along the superior aspect of the rib, one rib below the level of chest wall involvement. After the procedure, the clavicle is reap­proximated with number 5 sternal wires, and the soft tissues and skin are closed.

If this approach is being used for operations where one does not anticipate resection of chest wall, as in neurogenic tumors, approaches to the upper thoracic spine, or vascular reconstructions, then we usually lower the inferior border of the skin incision and use the Lebsche knife to divide the manubrium into the second intercostal space. We then elevate this segment of chest wall with a Ruhltract retractor.
Reoperative thoracotomy
For reoperative procedures in the chest, we tend to either vary the approach, i.e perform an anterior muscle-sparing thora­cotomy though the fourth ICS when a posterolateral thoraco­tomy has previously been performed, and vice versa. This approach can facilitate lysis of adhesions which are usually
7
most dense at the site of previous thoracotomy. If using the same thoracotomy, resecting a rib facilitates exposure.

HISTORY
The first sleeve lobectomy was performed by Price-Thomas in 1947 for an endobronchial adenoma. Five years later, Allison reported a sleeve lobectomy for carcinoma. Shaw and Paulson, however, popularized sleeve resection with their 1955 paper entitled “Bronchial anastomo­sis and bronchoplastic procedures in the interest of preservation of lung tissue.” The use of their techniques allows the modern thoracic surgeon to perform paren­chymal sparing procedures on patients who would not tolerate a pneumonectomy. In the case of malignancy, sleeve resections are performed without compromise of onco­logical principles.
PRINCIPLES AND JUSTIFICATION
Pneumonectomy is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality when compared to lobectomy and sleeve lobec­tomy. Thus, in our practice, we make every effort to avoid pneumonectomy. This strategy includes complex bron­choplastic and bronchovascular reconstructions when required. The justification of this approach is simply that by avoiding pneumonectomy we avoid its attendant risks while providing an equivalent cancer operation. In addition, lung­sparing procedures allow us to offer curative operations to
patients with poor pulmonary function who would otherwise not tolerate an operation.
PREOPERATIVE ASSESSMENT AND PREPARATION
Our preoperative evaluation includes a complete history and physical examination. Special attention is focused on previous thoracic procedures and chest irradiation. Systemic illnesses or use of high-dose steroids which might interfere with bronchial anastomotic healing are noted. All patients have a chest X-ray, a chest computerized tomographic (CT) scan, and pulmonary function testing with diffusion capacity. Patients with a diag­nosis or suspicion of malignancy also have an extent of disease workup which includes a bone scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain when indicated.
We perform selected mediastinoscopy in patients with malignant disease. Patients who have mediastinal adenopathy of greater than 1.0 cm on CT scan undergo mediastinoscopy prior to thoracotomy. If the mediastinoscopy is negative, we proceed with the thoracotomy. If the mediastinoscopy reveals ipsilateral N2 disease, the patient is referred for preoperative chemo/radiation therapy and returns later for resection. Those patients with contralateral N3 disease are referred for chemo/radiation therapy and are not offered surgical resection.
260 Bronchoplastic procedures
https://t.me/med1917
ANESTHESIA
Following the induction of general anesthesia, all
1
patients undergoing sleeve resection require bron­choscopy by the operating surgeon. This procedure can be done with either a rigid or flexible bronchoscope. Bronchoscopy allows visualization of the lesion and planning of the resection. Following bronchoscopy, the surgeon should have a complete discussion with the anesthesiologist regard­ing the operative plan. If a right-sided sleeve is being per­formed, a left-sided double lumen tube should be placed. If a left-sided sleeve is being entertained, a right-sided tube is placed. For sleeve pneumonectomy or a carinal sleeve resec­tion, a sterile anesthesia circuit is required to allow direct ven­tilation from the surgical field.
OPERATIONS
We have performed sleeve resections through standard poste­rior lateral incisions, serratus muscle-sparing posterior lateral incisions, and vertically oriented serratus and latissimus mus­cle-sparing incisions. The surgeon should choose an incision which provides complete exposure and he/she is comfortable working through; for most this choice will likely be the poste­rior lateral approach.
Following entry into the chest, complete exploration is
made to rule out disseminated disease. On both the right and
1
left side we begin our dissection in the anterior hilum and completely dissect out the main pulmonary artery. Special care must be taken on the left side to avoid damage to the short left main pulmonary artery. If bulky disease exists or any difficulty is encountered with dissection, we do not hesi­tate to open the pericardium on either side to obtain proxi­mal control. Next, we encircle the main pulmonary artery with an umbilical tape and snare it with a Rumel tourniquet in the event that proximal arterial control is needed. The remaining steps are specific to the sleeve being performed, and each will be described independently below.

Right-sided resections
RIGHT UPPER LOBECTOMY SLEEVE RESECTION – THE PROTOTYPE BRONCHOPLASTIC PROCEDURE
After proximal arterial control has been obtained, we
2
continue our dissection superiorly and enter the plane of the right upper lobe bronchus. The lung is retracted anteri­orly, and we continue our dissection in the crotch between the right upper lobe bronchus and the bronchus intermedius. A “crotch” lymph node is a consistent finding in this location. This node is elevated away from the crotch to reveal the pul­monary arterial branch to the superior segment of the right lower lobe. Once this branch is identified, the posterior por­tion of the fissure is completed with a linear stapler. This approach avoids extensive parenchymal dissection in the fis­sure. Up to this point, we have not made any irreversible maneuvers. A complete inspection is carried out to ensure that all disease including nodal disease can be removed. Once complete resectability is confirmed, we begin by ligating and dividing the pulmonary arterial branches to the right upper lobe.

Likewise, the venous drainage is divided with a vascular

stapler taking care to preserve the middle lobe venous drainage. The anterior portion of the fissure is completed with a linear stapler. At this juncture, the only point of attach­ment is the bronchus. We divide the mainstem bronchus with a fresh number 15 blade just proximal to the right upper lobe take off. Similarly, the bronchus intermedius is divided just distal to the right upper lobe take off. For upper lobe sleeve resections, these cuts must be perpendicular to the long axis of the airway; a “sciving” cut is to be avoided. The proximal and distal airway margins are cut from the specimen and inked by the surgeon. They are then taken to the pathologist for a frozen section examination. Once the margins have been cleared, the reconstruction is started. A positive margin requires additional resection of the involved area. We per­form our bronchial sleeve anastomosis in either a running or interrupted fashion. The key to a successful bronchial sleeve anastomosis is a precise tension-free repair which is pneumo­static. When required, tension can be relieved by incising the inferior pulmonary ligament or performing other release maneuvers.

When performing an interrupted anastomosis, we use
4
4.0 oiled vicryl suture. The first suture is placed in an “outside to in” fashion at the junction of the cartilaginous and membranous bronchi. The suture is not tied but is secured to a suture guide. Additional sutures are placed at 2­mm intervals to complete the first half of the cartilaginous anastomosis. Once the midpoint of the cartilaginous bronchi is reached, we begin tying the sutures starting at the corner. The surgeon “crosses” the next suture in the series to relieve tension while the assistant ties. The cartilaginous anastomosis is completed from the midpoint down to the opposite corner in a similar fashion. The lung is retracted anteriorly to reveal the membranous portion of the bronchus. The membranous portion of the anastomosis is completed with interrupted sutures. The chest is filled with saline, and the anastomosis is tested to 20 cm water pressure. Needle hole air leaks are ignored; however, air leaks between the cut edges of the bronchus are reinforced with simple interrupted sutures.

We wrap all anastomoses with either a pleural flap or
5
pericardial fat. We avoid the use of intercostal muscle which has been reported to calcify and cause anastomotic stricture. When performing a running anastomosis, we use a
4.0 absorbable monofilament suture (Maxon). The anasto­mosis is started at the midpoint of the cartilaginous bronchi with the knot placed on the outside. The suture is brought inside on the mainstem bronchus, and the surgeon runs the first half of the cartilaginous anastomosis away from himself up to the corner, at the junction of the cartilaginous and membranous portion of the bronchi. The suture is brought to the outside, and tension is kept on the suture by securing it to the drape with a rubber-shodded clamp. The surgeon now sews from the midpoint towards himself to the opposite cor­ner. The assistant follows the suture to maintain tension. Sutures are placed with precision so that alignment is perfect at the corner. The lung is retracted anteriorly, and the mem­branous portion of the anastomosis is completed by running each suture from the corner to the midpoint of the membra­nous bronchus. The suture is tied, and the anastomosis checked for pneumostasis and wrapped with pericardial fat.
MIDDLE LOBE SLEEVE RESECTION
https://t.me/med1917
The middle lobe sleeve resection is an infrequently
6
performed operation. Following proximal arterial con­trol, the middle lobe vein is identified, isolated, and divided. The bronchus to the middle lobe lies immediately posterior to the middle lobe vein. The bronchus is followed back to its origin. A right angled clamp is placed around the bronchus intermedius, and it is divided at a location proximal to the middle lobe orifice. The division is slightly angled. The distal division is also angled to preserve the orifice to the superior segment of the lower lobe. The pulmonary artery lies directly behind the bronchus, and care must be taken to avoid injury when dividing the bronchus. After division of the airway, the middle lobe arterial branch is easily visualized. The branch is ligated and divided. Next, the fissures are completed with fir­ings of a linear stapler.
Following confirmation of negative margins, the airway anastomosis is performed. This step can be done in either a running or interrupted manner as described above for the right upper lobectomy sleeve resection. Special considera­tions in performing a middle lobe sleeve resection must be given to the superior segmental orifice of the lower lobe. This orifice should not be narrowed or occluded when creating an anastomosis. Pericardial fat is used to wrap the anastomosis and separate it from the pulmonary artery.

Due to the reorientation of the upper lobe bronchus after removal of the middle and lower lobe, special care must be taken to avoid torsion of the bronchus at the anastomosis.
