In early reoperations following surgery of the lung haemorrhage comes first. In the late phase of reoperations, i.e. more than 3 months till 6.5 years after surgery, 12 secondary operations were performed for metachronic carcinomatous tumours and due to insufficient "radical" surgery. The postoperative mortality rate was 0. The results obtained are in favour of secondary operations because they are able to prolong the life expectancy of those patients.
