Cerebral infarction After Laparoscopic Right Lung Wedge or Segment Resection: A Report of Four Cases
Several cases have been reported of patients who experienced cerebral infarction following thoracoscope left lobectomy. Compared with right lung surgery, the pulmonary veins stump after left lobe surgery were longer and thrombosis was more likely. Besides, cases of cerebral infarction after right lung surgery are rarely reported. Left lobectomy is therefore considered as the main risk factor for postoperative cerebral infarction. However, here we report four cases of cerebral infarction after thoracoscopic wedge or segment resection of right lobe, which cause less damage to the pulmonary vein compared with lobectomy.
