Abstract
Sleeve lung resection can achieve local tumor control and long-term survival with low mortality and few anastomotic complications. Nodal status significantly affects long-term survival. Limited and extended resections are also feasible with local and long-term results comparable to those of standard sleeve lobectomy.
