A 62-year-old male with two synchronous squamous-cell carcinoma was successfully treated in two stages by right upper sleeve lobectomy and left S6 sleeve segmentectomy. The patient remains well without recurrence two years after surgery. Bronchoplastic surgery is an effective approach for multicentric hilar cancers with poor pulmonary function.
Shrinking and atelectatic pulmonary processes--atelectasis syndrome--and lobar emphysema show morphological similarities: congenital malformations of the bronchial structure, external compression of the bronchi as well as inflammatory processes. Ventilation mechanics determine whether in the described processes an atelectasis or an emphysema manifests itself clinically. Usually, one finds over-expansions in connection with atelectasis syndrome and atelectases together with lobar emphysema. Both processes can be reversible, if we are not dealing with bronchial malformations. Longer lasting processes as well as acute, life threatening forms require operation. The belief that atelectasis syndrome and lobar emphysema constitute a nosological unity is illustrated by our cases of 9 patients with atelectasis syndrome and 16 patients with lobar emphysema.
