Left Pneumonectomy

Abstract Bronchoscopic extraction is the most common treatment of foreign body aspiration. However, surgical interventions are required in cases wherein bronchoscopic extraction is difficult, with the most frequent surgical strategy being bronchotomy or lobectomy. Herein, we report a case of foreign body aspiration wherein left pneumonectomy was inevitable because of a molar incarcerated in the left main bronchus. The large diameter of the foreign body and delayed diagnosis that causes granulomatous hyperplasia are considered to be major factors of requiring high invasive surgery.

AbstractSurgical approach for resection–reconstruction of the proximal left main bronchus has been a matter of discussion. Through standard left thoracotomy, the proximal main bronchus close to the carina is not easily exposed. Accordingly, median sternotomy or right thoracotomy may be commonly employed, but the exposure and management of the distal left main bronchus may be difficult through the approach. Here, we present a left thoracotomy approach with traction of the trachea, which may easily allow excellent exposure of the proximal end of the left main bronchus and the carina.
