      Background:
      The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of combined approach (endoscopic resection followed by pure bronchoplasty without any pulmonary resection) in patients with endobronchial carcinoids.

      Methods:
      We applied two-staged technique (endoscopic resection first followed by pure bronchoplasty) to 25 patients (males – 10) with endobronchial carcinoid. The median age was 32,4 years with a range from 19 to 64 years. The indications to this technique were pure endobronchial carcinoid without lymph node involvement. Tumour was located on the right side in 18 (72%), on the left – in 7(28%) patients. Endoscopic resection/desobliteraton of central airway was performed to all patients as the first stage procedure to resolve the obstructive pneumonia and to localize the pedicle of the tumour for proper planning of further bronchoplasty followed by endobronchial ultrasound to detect the peribronchial component. Different types of pure bronchoplasty were performed as the second stage surgery with systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection (table 1).

      type of resection right side left side
      main stem bronchus 7 5
      bronchus intermedius 7 -
      main stem bronchus+upper lobe bronchus 2 2
      bronchus intermedius+middle lobe bronchus 1 -
      bronchus intermedius+lower lobe bronchus 1 -
      Total 18(5)* 7(2)*
      * polybronchial anastomosis was performed


      Results:
      The resection was complete (R0) in all cases. No lymph node metastases were observed, and tumours were pathologically staged as pT1aN0 in 18, pT2N0 – in 5, pT3N0 – in 2 patients and that all cases had invasive components limited to the bronchial wall. Twenty three tumours were typical and only two - atypical carcinoids. Morbidity was 33,3% (only minor complications) with no mortality. The stenosis of bronchial anastomosis was observed in one patient treated by endoscopic intervention. Overall 5- and 10-years survival was 100,0% and 96,0% (one patient died from myocardial infarction 8 years after surgery). No recurrence of the primary tumour was observed in any case.

      Conclusion:
      Two-staged surgery (endoscopic resection+pure bronchoplasty without lung parenchyma resection) is an effective technique for treatment of endobronchial carcinoids with excellent oncologic outcome.
