Sleeve resection with or without parenchymal resection for proximal bronchial carcinoids: a retrospective analysis of recurrence and lymph node involvement.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Risk factors of recurrence in sleeve resection for endobronchial carcinoid tumors are well known. However, the impact of parenchymal sparing has not been studied. This study aims to determine whether associated parenchymal removal improves the oncologic outcomes.

Methods

Between 2002 and 2022, 95 patients underwent a sleeve resection for carcinoid tumors in two centers, 29 a bronchial sleeve resection (BSR) without parenchymal resection and 66 a parenchymal sleeve resection (PSR). Similar lymph node dissection was performed in both groups.

Results

The BSR group had more proximal tumors (p < 0.001) and higher NYHA class function (p < 0.001). The PSR group had more distal (p < 0.001) and larger tumors (p = 0.04). Preoperative bronchoscopic resection did not r
