Abstract

Over the past few years, significant advances in surgical and anesthetic techniques as well as appropriate selection of patients have led to an improvement in the immediate and long-term treatment outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer with involvement of tracheal bifurcation. In accordance with the current selection criteria, patients with contralateral lymph node metastases (lung root, aortic window, paratracheal area) require chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy with subsequent estimation of follow-up and treatment strategy. Surgeries with resection of tracheobronchial bifurcation are considered technically complicated, and they should be performed in carefully selected lung cancer patients and only in specialized centers with extensive experience. It allows the incidence of intra-and postoperative complications to be significantly reduced.
