Sleeve resection surgery removes a diseased portion of the bronchus (airway) along with the affected lung lobe. The healthy airway is then reconnected to preserve lung function, avoiding removal of the entire lung and helping maintain better breathing and overall lung health.
There are three main types: standard sleeve resection (removes one lobe and part of the bronchus), broncho vascular sleeve resection (includes part of the pulmonary artery), and extended sleeve resection (removes additional lung segments based on tumor spread).
Sleeve resection is mainly caused by tumors in the central airways, such as lung cancer. Other causes include infections or scarring that damage the bronchus, requiring removal of diseased sections to restore lung health.
Symptoms include persistent cough, coughing blood, shortness of breath, wheezing, and frequent lung infections. These often signal tumors in central airways that may require sleeve resection surgery to remove affected tissue.
Diagnosis involves CT scans, PET scans, and bronchoscopy to locate and assess tumors. Biopsies confirm if the tumor is cancerous, helping doctors plan the best surgical approach for effective treatment.
This surgery targets central lung tumors like non-small cell lung cancer. By removing the tumor and affected airway portion, it aims to eliminate cancer while preserving as much lung function as possible.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, consult a thoracic specialist promptly.
A persistent cough lasting more than a few weeks could indicate an underlying lung condition.
Blood in sputum is a serious symptom that requires immediate medical evaluation.
Difficulty breathing during routine activities may signal airway obstruction or lung disease.
Frequent lung infections might suggest a blockage or tumor in the airways.
