Conservative management of postoperative incomplete lung torsion without reoperation: first case report with 2-year favorable outcomes

This case represents the first successful conservative management of postoperative lung torsion using multimodal conservative therapy with excellent long-term outcomes. Conservative management may be considered for carefully selected patients with early-diagnosed incomplete lung torsion who remain hemodynamically stable without tissue infarction. This approach requires intensive monitoring and immediate surgical backup availability. While offering a potential alternative to high-risk reoperation, surgical intervention remains the standard of care, and larger studies are needed to validate this approach and establish treatment protocols.
