    The objective of this study was to evaluate the operative mortality, morbidity, and long-term survival of sleeve lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer and low-grade neoplasms. We evaluated the effects of neoadjuvant therapy on the bronchial anastomotic complication rate and determined whether sleeve lobectomy performed in patients with N1 disease resulted in decreased overall survival.
