Lung cancer cured lung function intact It is reported that the successful use of this new surgery in the city is the first case Source: Dalian Evening News Time: 2006-9-27 Chief Reporter Lu Tong Intern Liu Fang Yuan This newspaper hearing lung cancer can be cured through surgery, but when the central lung cancer invaded the main bronchus or pulmonary artery trunk, although the lung cancer was cured, but because of lung resection, thus also lost one side of the lung function. A few days ago, the reporter learned from the First Affiliated Hospital of Dahmer that Master Cui, who was just discharged from the hospital, underwent lung cancer surgery there not long ago, which not only removed his lung cancer lesion, but more excitingly, his surgery preserved the lung function on his diseased side. Half a month ago, 74-year-old Master Cui, who lives in Xigang District, came to the First Affiliated Hospital of DMD for a checkup due to an irritating cough and coughing up blood in his sputum. The examination showed that the old man had central lung cancer, which had invaded the main bronchus and pulmonary artery trunk, and his family members were busy with the hospitalization procedures. After carefully analyzing his condition and physical status, Dr. Tan Qingwei, chief physician of the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital, decided to operate on the old man using the new domestic advanced pulmonary artery-bronchus double sleeve cut procedure. On the 15th of this month, Dr. Tan stepped onto the operating table and successfully completed the surgery for Mr. Cui in just three hours. According to Dr. Tan, who used this new procedure for the first time, the key difference between this procedure and the traditional one is that the lung cancer was cured while the remaining lung lobes were preserved. The normal remaining lung is reanastomosed with the preserved main bronchus and main pulmonary artery stem vessels. Since this procedure avoids the removal of the whole lung on one side, it minimizes the possibility of respiratory failure during surgery and improves the long-term quality of life of the patient. It is reported that this new procedure is the first of its kind in our city.
