ABSTRACT
Standard sleeve resection refers to the circumferential removal of a segment of the main bronchus in continuity with a lobectomy in order to avoid pneumonectomy. By doing so, surgery can be carried out in patients with compromised pulmonary function while also benefiting those with more normal function. It is most often indicated for malignant tumors located at the origin of the right upper lobe bronchus. Operative mortality is low and in the range of 2% to 3%, and quality of life and long-term survival are better than what is observed after pneumonectomy.
