Carinal reconstruction and omental flap harvesting are traditionally performed through open approaches. We report a case in which carinal reconstruction with bronchial flap and omental flap reinforcement was performed using minimally invasive approaches. The omental flap was harvested laparoscopically and wrapped around the anastomosis, which reduced the risk of airway anastomosis complications. Noncircumferential resection and reconstruction used bronchial flap, which made it easier to perform under video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery conditions. Minimally invasive carinal reconstruction with bronchial flap and omental reinforcement after neoadjuvant treatment can be safely performed.

Background: Carinal resection and reconstruction are complex surgical procedures often necessitated by tumors or other pathologies involving the tracheobronchial junction. Traditional approaches to these surgeries are highly invasive. The advent of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) along with the integration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offer potential advantages in reducing surgical trauma and improving outcomes.

Carinoplasty can be divided into the one-stoma method, the montage method, the double-barrel method, and the Miyamoto method. The one-stoma method is usually performed with right upper sleeve lobectomy, and with an anastomosis of the intermediate trunk to a carina. On the other hand, in the montage method, the double-barrel method or the Miyamoto method, carina is completely resected and the trachea, left main bronchus and right bronchus are divided into three pieces.

Airway management in complex tracheobronchial surgery (TBS) remains a challenge in thoracic surgery. The use of extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation (ECMO) in thoracic surgery is rather rare, except for lung transplantation. To report the safety and efficacy of ECMO in complex TBS, a total of 5 patients with tracheobronchial and bronchial reconstructive surgery supported by ECMO in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Tangdu Hospital, Air Force Medical University from May 2019 to June 2024 were collected.

Background: Resection and reconstruction of the carina infiltrated by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or an airway tumor is a technically demanding operation allowing oncologic radical treatment. Hereby we report the results of a 20-year experience from a high-volume center.
Methods: Carinal resection was performed in 41 patients for NSCLC (n = 32) or primary airway tumor (n = 9).

Article Synopsis
- * Common intraoperative ventilation methods include cross-table ventilation, veno-venous extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation, and cardiopulmonary bypass; however, cardiopulmonary bypass is usually avoided due to its complications and limitations in oncological surgery.
- * The text introduces a novel technique for minimally invasive robotic carinal reconstruction that utilizes cross-table ventilation, alongside a video tutorial detailing the surgical process for a young patient with a mediastinal tumor invading the carina.
