Background: Salvage surgery has been frequently performed, increasing the opportunity to actively perform surgery for recurrence after a function-preserving operation. However, re-operation after airway reconstruction surgery on the proximal side and the effect of prior treatment, such as radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, make the operation more difficult. In addition, cases of sleeve pneumonectomy after sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty are uncommon.
Case Presentation: A 71-year-old lung cancer patient underwent right upper sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty combined with perioperative chemotherapy in 2007. A new undiagnosed right hilar mass that appeared 9 years post-operation showed a temporary response to radiotherapy but progressed thereafter. Sleeve pneumonectomy was completed 14 months after radiotherapy by the following procedures: dividing the right pulmonary artery at the proximal site under median sternotomy and then reconstructing the bronchus by telescoping the left main bronchus into the distal trachea after pneumonectomy under posterolateral thoracotomy.
Conclusions: Sleeve pneumonectomy for recurrent lung cancer could be safely performed under good vision using a two-stage approach as salvage surgery, even in high-risk patients who received various treatments and proximal airway reconstruction.

Objective: We aimed to identify the diagnostic value of next-generation sequencing (NGS) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: Forty patients who were initially diagnosed with pulmonary nodules were enrolled. Frozen section histology was used to identify the NSCLC cell types.

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.

Background: In the treatment of central-type non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), sleeve lobectomy (SL) has emerged as the surgical treatment of choice over pneumonectomy (PN). This retrospective study evaluates the clinical profiles and prognostic elements impacting survival and recurrence rates in patients who underwent SL.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 288 patients who underwent SL from January 2010 to December 2023.

Background: To compare short-term mortality and long-term overall survival between sleeve lobectomy and pneumonectomy for centrally located non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who had been radically resected for NSCLC by sleeve lobectomy with or without pulmonary arterioplasty at our institution between 2009 and 2023. We then propensity score-matched the patients with pneumonectomy counterparts from a national registry and compared their 30- and 90-day mortality and long-term overall survival before and after matching.

Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery( VATS) is a thoracoscopic surgery in which a camera and multiple forceps are inserted into one wound and the operation is performed under complete monitoring. Since Diego Gonzalez-Rivas reported on lobectomy in 2011, various other procedures such as pneumonectomy, segmentectomy, sleeve, double sleeve, and carina reconstruction have been performed. Now, it is performed not only in Asia and Europe, but also in South America, the Middle East, and other parts of the world.
