Inhalation with Tobramycin® to improve healing of tracheobronchial reconstruction☆

Abstract

Increasing experience with sleeve resection has reduced the rate of pneumonectomy below 10%, although a number of the patients had received neoadjuvant therapy and the carinal resection rate of necrosis and infection of the anastomosis was low. We therefore recommend use of local antibiotic inhalation after sleeve resection.
