Extended pleuropulmonary resection

Enlarged pleural pneumonectomy is a radical resection of the affected part of the chest wall, whole lung, diaphragm, mediastinum, and pericardium. Advantages of pleura pneumonectomy: ① This method can be implemented in patients with completely closed pleural cavity; ② Because the lung tissue has been removed, high-dose radiotherapy can be performed after surgery; ③ Recent data indicate that the median survival time (21 months ) Is higher than before, and the mortality rate (<5%) is significantly lower than before.
