      • Abstract

      Background
      Repeated pulmonary resections there are predominantly used in sarcomas and colorectal cancers and in young age. Bad prognosis is in patients with reccurency of pulmonary metastases in period to six months. There are exist four prognostic groups according present risk factors (short disease free interval, multiple metastases).

      Methods
      We performed in period I/1997 to XII/2011 165 operations in 149 patients. 10patients had multiple pulmonary resections. According origin histology were – 6x sarcomas. 2x tu Grawitz, 1x Schwannoma malignum, 1x ca laryngis. There are synovialosarcoma, osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, alveolar sarcoma and sarcoma uteri in group of sarcomas.

      Results
      As approach we used VATS 2x, clamshel thoracotomy 2x, muscle sparing vertical thoracotomy 7x and posterolateral thoracotomy 6x. We performed extraanatomic resection 13x, lobectomy 4x and completion pneumonectomy 1x. We observed 6x complications (3x small air leak, 3x wound infection) in postoperative period. No necessary rethoracotomy for complications, letality 0.

      Conclusion
      Surgery is part of complex therapy. There are very necessary strict selection of candidates for surgery and experienced team of thoracic surgeons. Surgery is safe and useful procedure at pulmonary metastases surgery.
