Tracheobronchial reconstructive procedures have been done for lung cancer in 26 patients. Twenty-four of the 26 cases were advanced cases in stage 3. Six of the 26 cases were irradiated preoperatively. The survival rate for 26 patients at three years was 43.4% and that for 20 patients without preoperative irradiation at three years was 58.0%.
