Analysis of clinical outcomes and prognosis of patients with early bronchogenic lung cancer after treatment of rigid bronchoscopy combining fiberoptic bronchoscopy: a single-center retrospective study.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical value of rigid bronchoscopy combined with fiberoptic bronchoscopy in patients with early bronchogenic lung cancer who underwent sleeve lobectomy.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 76 patients with early bronchogenic lung cancer admitted to our center from March 2016 to March 2017. Patients in the control group received conventional sleeve lobectomy ( = 38), while patients in the observation group underwent sleeve lobectomy by using rigid bronchoscopy combining fiberoptic bronchoscopy ( = 38).
