Abstract
- Unique right hilar mobilization was performed by pulmonary venous transposition of the right middle and lower lobe veins to the opening of the right upper pulmonary vein to achieve tension-free airway anastomosis after carinal right upper lobectomy for a patient with adenoid cystic carcinoma. The right middle and lower lobes were reconstructed safely thereafter by side-to-end anastomosis between the side of the lower trachea and intermediate bronchus with acceptable suturing tension.
