The authors' observation of 22 patients has shown that of special significance for prevention of diagnostic errors is the completeness of examination of the patients at admission and using instrumental methods of examination. Early operative restoration of the passability of the tracheo-bronchial tree is a reliable prophylactic measure against postoperative complications. When putting intertracheal or interbronchial anastomoses the application of peritracheal or peribronchial suture with additional strengthening of the anastomosis with a free autodermal flap is indicated.

In the majority of the patients the vessels of the lung root were processed intrapericardially. Immediate and late results of extended combined pneumonectomies are quite promising.
