AB The  importance  of  parenchymal  preservation  during  pulmonary  surgery  was  realized  over  50  years  ago  when  descriptions  of  bronchial  resection  and  reconstruction  were  first  published.1–3  Since  then,  considerable  technical  refinement  and  anatomic  insight  have  expanded  indications  for  lung-sparing  operations.  Bronchoplastic  resections  form  one  category  of  these  procedures  with  a  unique  set  of  indications.  These  operations  are  technically  more  demanding  than  standard  anatomic  pulmonary  resections,  although,  the  additional  time  spent  performing  these  procedures  is  justly  rewarded  in  considerable  functional  lung  preservation.
