BERRIOS-MEJIA, Juan A. et al. Sleeve resection uniportal video assisted thoracoscopic surgery, feasible and reproducible: case report. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.4, pp.514-518.  Epub Nov 08, 2021. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.19001087.

Sleeve resection is used in central lung cancer and the objective is to preserve normal lung tissues. Uniportal VATS approach is a complex and challenging new technique that offers the benefits of minimal invasion, without increasing the risks. We presented a 41-year-old male patient, with history of cough with hemoptysis due to an exophytic lesion of the right main bronchus. Diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumor type 1 (carcinoid tumor) was confirmed with bronchoscopy. Complete circumferential resection was performed, with terminal-terminal anastomosis and reconstruction. Satisfactory postoperative evolution. In post-surgical follow-up.

Keywords : Broncoplasty; Uniportal thoracoscopic surgery; Bronchial sleeve resection.
