Analysis of Risk Factors for Bronchopleural Fistula after Surgical Treatment of Lung Cancer

Abstract: Purpose: Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a potential serious complication of lobectomy or more radical surgery for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to evaluate the risk factors for BPF. Methods: The study cohort comprised 635 patients who had undergone lobectomy or more radical surgery for NSCLC from March 2005 to December 2017. We examined the following risk factors for BPF: surgical procedure, medical history, preoperative treatment, and surgical management. Results: In all, 10 patients (1.6%) ha… Show more

“…The above-mentioned reasons can be explained by the influence of the blood supply of the bronchial anastomosis or the stump. Several studies have reported that comorbidities such as diabetes can affect the blood supply to the bronchial anastomosis, delaying healing, and thus being highly associated with the occurrence of BPF (9,11). However, similar results were not observed in the present study.…”

“…Right pneumonectomy and right lower and/or middle lobectomy are risk factors for BPF after bronchoplasty, and have been reported in several previous studies (3,8,9,16,17). In the present study, there were only four patients with pneumonectomy and only one with right pneumonectomy, so the association between right pneumonectomy and the occurrence of BPF was not explored.…”

“…Therefore, early diagnosis and selection of appropriate treatment methods are life-saving. Risk factors for BPF formation include severe devascularization of the bronchial stump or anastomotic line during resection, leaving a long stump, presence of residual tumor tissue in the stump, neoadjuvant therapies, steroid use, presence of diabetes mellitus, early postoperative pneumonia or empyema, and prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation [4][5][6] .…”
