Neo-carina after carina resection and right upper lobectomy in a patient with adenoid cystic carcinoma: Alternative technique.

Surgical treatment of carinal tumors that extend into the lobar bronchus is a procedure that challenges thoracic surgeons. There is no consensus on the suitable technique for a safe anastomosis in lobar lung resection with carina. The preferred Barclay technique has a high rate of anastomosis-related complications. Although a lobe-sparing end-to-end anastomosis technique has been previously described, the double-barrel method can be applied as an alternative technique. We present a case where we performed double-barrel anastomosis and neo-carina formation after tracheal sleeve right upper lobectomy.
