Two male patients who were admitted to our department with wheezing, and symptoms of recurrent pneumonia, aged 7 and 10 years, were both diagnosed to have endobronchial masses in the right intermediate bronchus. We employed bronchial sleeve resections with pathological results of carcinoid tumor. Patients were discharged on postoperative days 7 and 8, respectively. The aim of this study is to emphasize the bronchial sleeve resection as a technically feasible procedure in the first decade of life.

Background: Obesity is an alarmingly increasing global public health issue. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common bariatric surgery owing to its simplicity, effectiveness, and low complication rates. The complications can be classified as early or late, with fistula formation being one of the most severe complications.

Sleeve lobectomy has solidified its position as a preferred alternative to pneumonectomy due to its significant advantage in preserving lung function, whereas right lower lobe sleeve lobectomy remains relatively uncommon because of the higher technical challenge. With the development of minimally invasive technology and experience acquired over the years, robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) has shown progress and distinct advantages compared to the traditional thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach. Owing to its 3D vision, bendable wrist joints, and tremor filtration capabilities, this surgical technique exhibits great advantages in complex thoracic operations demanding for reconstructive procedures compared to traditional thoracoscopic surgery.

Neuroendocrine tumours of bronchial origin account for ~1%-2%. They can be typical or atypical in nature and are likely to be endobronchial in growth. We report a case of a 37-year-old woman with a carcinoid tumour in the bronchus intermedius with a background of aberrant bronchial anatomy.

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung grows gradually, and spreads along the bronchial wall, often requiring tracheobronchoplastic procedure during surgery; however, incomplete resection occasionally occurs due to positive surgical margins. To avoid incomplete resection, effort should be exerted to confirm the extent of airway invasion of the tumor before surgery. Herein, we present the utility of combined treatment with bronchoscopic electrocautery wire snare for the endobronchial tumor prior to sleeve lobectomy with curative resection for patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung.

Background: In bronchoplasty of wedge resections, it is necessary to transect the bronchus at a sharp angle and depth. As a result, anastomoses after wedge resections have the disadvantages of poor visibility and operability. Here, we report a case of right wedge-shaped sleeve bilobectomy that was successfully performed with continuous knotless suturing using robotic assistance.
