Περίληψη:
Lung hamartomas are rare benign tumors of the bronchi. Their management
consists of bronchoscopic excision or removal through a thoracotomy and
bronchotomy whenever there is a large tumor totally obstructing the
bronchial lumen. As a lung-sparing procedure is usually the aim, various
bronchoplastic techniques have been described, providing a functional
lumen of the repaired bronchus. We describe a simple technique that can
be safely undertaken to preserve a satisfactory diameter of the bronchus
or trachea and prevent a stenosis at the site of repair.
