Pulmonary3
People have been able to return to near-normal lives, including running marathons after a pneumonectomy, provided there has been adequate cardio-pulmonary conditioning. (wikipedia.org)
Thoracoscopic major pulmonary resections such as lobectomies or pneumonectomies are the most difficult operations that can be attempted thoracoscopically, and still have limited routine application in thoracic surgical practice. (unimi.it)
He underwent an en bloc resection, and pathological findings concluded to a metastasis of a pulmonary combined small cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. (hindawi.com)
Compensatory lung2
In B6.Cg-Terc(tm1Rdp) mice carrying shortened telomeres, response to pneumonectomy was characterized by decreased survival, diminished compensatory lung growth, attenuated distal lung progenitor cell response, persistent DNA damage, and cell growth arrest. (ca.gov)
We conclude that functional telomerase and properly maintained telomeres play key roles in both long-term survival and the early phase of compensatory lung growth following partial pneumonectomy. (ca.gov)
Surgery1
Extrapleural pneumonectomy was the standard procedure for surgery. (smw.ch)
Resection3
With division of the bronchus, the en bloc resection is complete, and the tissue is removed from the chest. (bcm.edu)
The mortality and morbidity of resection for metachronous cancer after pneumonectomy is controversial. (solunum.org.tr)
The role of resection in a case developing metachronous cancer after 19 years following pneumonectomy was discussed in view of literature. (solunum.org.tr)
Tumor2
Next they separate the tumor from the chest wall and then resect the lung, pleura, pericardium and diaphragm en bloc (in one piece) dividing the arteries, veins and bronchi that connect the lung to the heart. (bcm.edu)
A 78 years old man staged as T3N1M0 who underwent left-sided pneumonectomy was found to have a second primary tumor during follow-up after 19 years. (solunum.org.tr)
Remove a lung1
A pneumonectomy (or pneumectomy) is a surgical procedure to remove a lung. (wikipedia.org)
Surgical1
Partial pneumonectomy (PNX), the surgical removal of a lung lobe or lobes, substantially diminishes diffusion capacity by reducing the total number of alveoli and the associated vasculature available for gas exchange. (biomedcentral.com)
Underwent1
The patient underwent a pneumonectomy with lymph node dissection confirming the same diagnosis. (hindawi.com)
Partial3
Partial pneumonectomy of telomerase null mice carrying shortened telomeres initiates cell growth arrest resulting in a limited compensatory growth response. (ca.gov)
To determine the role telomerase plays when the lung is challenged, B6.Cg-Terc(tm1Rdp) mice carrying shortened telomeres and wild-type controls were subjected to partial pneumonectomy. (ca.gov)
In a number of species, partial pneumonectomy initiates hormonally regulated compensatory growth of the remaining lung lobes that restores normal mass, structure and function. (biomedcentral.com)
Thoracic1
After a pneumonectomy is performed, changes in the thoracic cavity occur to compensate for the altered anatomy. (wikipedia.org)
Patients2
Patients undergoing a pneumonectomy have normal liver and renal function and are typically under 70 years of age. (bcm.edu)

The operation will reduce the respiratory capacity of the patient, and before conducting a pneumonectomy, survivability after the removal has to be assessed. (wikipedia.org)
