Tracheal sleeve lobectomy is right upper lobectomy extended to include resection of the main bronchus, the carina and a segment of the trachea with end-to-end anastomosi of the trachea and end-to-side anstomosis of the intermediate bronchus on the main left bronchus, or the upper lobe on the trachea. This operation is possible with the aid of high frequency jet ventilation. The surgical indication of this operation is bronchoscopic and functional and guarantees a good oncological radicality in the presence of N0.
