Bronchoplastic resections such as bronchial sleeve lobectomy have been developed as an alternative to pneumonectomy, which is a radical resection with parenchymasparing properties. As a result of the increasing use of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and the adaptation of extended resections to it, the use of VATS in sleeve resections has become widespread.
