Respect the Middle Lobe: Perioperative Risk of Bilobectomy Compared With Lobectomy and Pneumonectomy

2014, Revue de Pneumologie CliniqueDoes bilobectomy offer satisfactory long-term survival outcome for non-small cell lung cancer?
2013, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Lower-middle bilobectomy was very probably associated with the highest morbidity due to the larger parenchymal resection performed (7 anatomic segments removed vs 5), and because, in our study, the group of patients included a higher proportion of males suffering from COPD and lower FEV1. Thus, modalities for reducing the residual space after this resection (such as insertion of a supplemental drain with a high suction level of 150 mm Hg [6], realization of a pneumoperitoneum [5, 6], or phrenic nerve scratch [8]) should be employed in particular to minimize the occurrence of pleural collections and prolonged air leak. Our preferred method is currently resection of the sixth rib (Fig 4).
Bilobectomy for lung cancer: Analysis of indications, postoperative results, and long-term outcomes
2012, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In the series of Keller and colleagues, 108 (65%) of the 166 patients underwent UMB. On the contrary, in the other experiences, a higher number of MLB was reported: Deneuville and colleagues [10] reported that 127 (86%) of 148 patients underwent MLB; Massard and colleagues [11] reported 94 (84%) of the 112 patients received a MLB; Carbognani and colleagues [12], 38 (82.6%) of 46 patients; and finally Kim and colleagues [14], 57 (62%) of 92 patients. In our series, we reported a similar incidence of UMB (52.7%, n = 77) and LMB (47.3%, n = 69).
