The mean duration of mechanical ventilation was 16.06\u2009\u00b1\u200912.57\u2005h, chest tube drainage was maintained for 234.86\u2009\u00b1\u200991.04\u2005h, and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 25.00\u2009\u00b1\u20098.45 days. The median follow-up period was 2.7 years (range: 0.6\u20137.1 years). Perioperative complications included two cases of mild anastomotic stenosis, both successfully managed with bronchoscopic cryotherapy, and one case of chylothorax that resolved with conservative drainage. The trauma group required significantly longer postoperative mechanical ventilation compared to the tumor group (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05).
