Abstract

Twenty cases of pneumonectomy in infants and children performed over a 35-yr period have been reviewed. Pneumonectomy may be necessary for inflammatory, congenital, neoplastic, and traumatic conditions. The postoperative complications of progressive mediastinal shift can be minimized by the use of a pleural prosthesis.
