Description
Lara Girelli and co-authors published this study in 2023. It reviews join complications after bronchoplasty, a lung-sparing operation that rejoins the airway after removing a tumor section. A referral cancer center analyzed 280 such operations. Nine in ten were for lung cancer. Complications at the join occurred in about six percent of patients. Late narrowing was the most common, then a leak between airway and chest space.
Survival did not differ clearly between patients with and without join problems. But deaths within thirty days ran higher when complications struck. Spread to lymph nodes stood out as a risk factor, likely marking more radical surgery. For treatment, the center favors surgery for dangerous leaks. Benign narrowings get a balloon stretch through a scope instead.
