Abstract

Despite improvements in surgical and anesthetic techniques, resection of tracheobronchial tumors involving the carina remains challenging due to technical difficulties and perioperative complications. Carinal resection involves removing and reconstructing the airway. A thorough preoperative workup is essential. Meticulous surgical technique and aggressive postoperative management are required for optimal outcomes. Complete tumor resection is the cornerstone of management. Radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy have been used in select patients with debatable results. We present a case of a patient with primary pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma invading the carina, treated with carinal resection without lung resection, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient had a complete follow-up over an average of 13 years.
