summary

Sometimes I smell smoking on the balcony all day, which affects us most. Later, I heard that he seemed to have lung cancer, and now he has started to stop smoking. Let's talk about the best surgical method for lung cancer.

What is the best surgical method for lung cancer

First: local resection: it refers to wedge-shaped tumor resection and segmental resection, that is, for small primary cancer, old and weak, poor lung function or well differentiated cancer, low malignancy, etc., local resection of lung can be considered. Lobectomy: lobectomy is feasible for solitary peripheral lung cancer, which is limited to one lobe without obvious lymph node enlargement. If the tumor involves two lobes or intermediate bronchi, upper, middle or lower, middle lobectomy is feasible.

Second: sleeve lobectomy and wedge sleeve lobectomy: this kind of operation is mostly applied to the upper and middle lung cancer of the right lung. If the tumor is located in the lobar bronchus and involves the opening of the lobar bronchus, sleeve lobectomy is feasible; if the opening of the lobar bronchus is not involved, wedge sleeve lobectomy is feasible.

Third: pneumonectomy (generally try not to do right pneumonectomy): if the lesion is extensive and cannot be resected by the above method, pneumonectomy can be considered carefully. Resection and reconstruction of carina: when the tumor is more than 2cm beyond the main bronchus and involves the carina or the lateral wall of trachea.

matters needing attention

Because smoking is the number one killer of lung cancer, there are now some anti smoking propaganda. It can be seen that as long as there is no smoking, the risk of lung cancer can be greatly reduced. Secondly, we should keep away from the places where exhaust gas and polluting gas are emitted. If we have to be there, we'd better wear masks.
