Bronchoplasty originally designed for patients with inadequate pulmonary function who cannot tolerate pneumonectomy, has recently yielded good results as well as offering an alternative to pneumonectomy. We describe a technique for plication of the proximal bronchial membranous portion when there is significant discrepancy in lumen size between the main and the segmental bronchi to allow precise end-to-end anastomosis. Plication helps prevent postoperative anastomotic stenosis and obstruction.
