The term MPLC is used to refer to the latter case, in which 2 or more primary malignant tumors are unrelated to each other, but present simultaneously or successively in the lung.2 Second lung lobectomies are very rarely described in the literature. The aim of this study was to determine postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing a second lung lobectomy. This is a descriptive study of postoperative morbidity and mortality (during hospitalization or in the first 30 days post-surgery) in a series of patients undergoing a second lung lobectomy between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2014. Second lobectomies conducted to complete a pneumonectomy were not included in the analysis...
