Objective  To analyze the safety of surgical treatment and optimal surgical procedure for lung cancer patients with prior history of lung resection. Methods  The medical records of 69 lung cancer patients with history of lung resection was retrospectively collected. There were 53 males and 16 females with a median age of 68 years ranging from 45 to 80 years. The risk factors for postoperative complications were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and logistic regression analysis. By comparing the data between the lobectomy and sublobectomy groups, the best surgical procedure was chosen. Results  The 90-day mortality rate was 4.3%. Postoperative complication rate was 24.6%. Results of one-way ANOVA showed that blood loss during operation (P=0.020), tumor size (P=0.007), smoking (P=0.028) and FEV1%pre (P=0.018) were associated with increased major postoperative complications. Logistic regression analysis showed that FEV1%pre<77.0% (OR=0.935, 95%CI 0.888 to 0.984, P=0.010) and tumor size≥2 cm (OR=4.288, 95%CI 1.375 to 13.373, P=0.012) were independent risk factors for major postoperative complications. Lobectomy and sublobectomy groups had similar postoperative mortality and complication rate (P=0.063). Conclusion  Surgical resection for selected lung cancer patients with history of lung resection is safe with low postoperative mortality and complication rate. Lobectomy with lymph node resection is the first choice if cardiopulmonary function permits. Pneumonectomy is not recommended.
