Q: What is sleeve resection of the lung?
Answer: A sleeve resection is a kind of maximum lung/tissue-sparing surgery, or an alternative to a pneumonectomy. This procedure is performed by removing a lobe containing a target lesion (mostly a tumor) with a portion of the lobar bronchus to an uninvolved lobe. The remaining bronchus to the uninvolved lobe is anastomosed to the remaining proximal airway.
