abstract = {Airway lesions are treated by resecting and subsequent reconstructive surgery. Tracheoplasty and bronchoplasty are applied to inflammatory stenosis, damage due to trauma, and primary tumors of the airways. The indications for lobar (bronchial) sleeve resection are commonly applied to lung cancers that develop at the proximal portion of the lobar bronchus. Recently, extended sleeve lobectomy (ESL) is widely indicated among the routine techniques used to avoid pneumonectomy because of its reliability and effectiveness. In some cases the cancer is limited to the segmental bronchi, segmental sleeve resection is sometimes performed. In the field of respiratory surgery, carinal resection-reconstruction is one of the most rare procedures and challenging issues, involving difficult surgical techniques, anesthetic techniques, and postoperative management. Tracheal surgery was generalized so that it could be applied to any type of tracheal disease that required resection, including tumors.},
