Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the lung resection adaptive response, using as a parameter the histology of the remaining pulmonary parenchyma. Forty-five adult female Wistar rats, Rattus novergicus albinus, were used distributed into group I, II. The group I animals underwent a right-medium lobectomy, and were re-arranged in two subgroups for post-surgical evaluation after 30 and 60 days, respectively. The group II animals underwent both a cranial and a medium-right bilobectomy, being re-arranged in sub-groups for subsequent evaluation. The control group animals did not undergo any surgical procedure. The results showed that there was a hyperplasia of the remaining pulmonary parenchyma after resection, besides the dilation of the aerial spaces. The number of alveoli in the control group animals was always higher when compared to the animals that experienced pulmonary resection
