This report details two cases of right upper-lobe lung cancer, of patients aged 62 and 56 years, requiring complex bronchoplasty and thoracoscopic surgeries. In both cases, owing to intraoperative complications, extended thoracotomies were performed to gain access to the right main pulmonary artery. The postoperative courses were uneventful, implying that this approach was safe. Uncomplicated postoperative recoveries underscore the need for adaptable surgical techniques, especially when traditional positioning fails. It emphasizes extending thoracotomy incisions for safer hilar structure access, offering insights for handling similar complex surgeries where standard methods falter.
本报告详细介绍了两例右上叶肺癌病例,患者年龄分别为62岁和56岁,均需要进行复杂的支气管成形术和胸腔镜手术。在这两例病例中,由于术中出现并发症,均进行了扩大胸廓切开术以暴露右主肺动脉。术后病程平稳,表明这种方法是安全的。术后恢复顺利突出了采用适应性手术技术的必要性,尤其是在传统定位方法失败时。这强调了延长胸廓切开切口以更安全地暴露肺门结构,为处理标准方法失效的类似复杂手术提供了思路。
