    AbstractCarinal resections and reconstructions, with or without lung resection, are challenging operations that may be indicated in less than 1% of operable patients with NSCLC or benign lesions involving the carina. These operations are completed in only a few centers worldwide, likely because of their technical complexity and the general opinion about their limited patient benefit. However, good survival results can be expected in pN0 or pN1 patients so that, in experienced hands, these operations are effective options. The risk of postoperative complications can be minimized by several intraoperative and postoperative precautions.Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
