This study details a minimally invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for a small lung nodule in a patient with compromised lung function. The VATS approach allowed successful resection and diagnosis of adenomatous hyperplasia.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Oncology

Background:

  • A 56-year-old male presented with a solitary pulmonary nodule.
  • Preoperative assessment revealed compromised pulmonary function, precluding lobectomy.

Observation:

  • Chest computed tomography (CT) identified a small nodule in the left upper lobe's posterior segment, suspected as early malignancy.
  • No mediastinal lymphadenopathy was detected.

Findings:

  • Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) left upper lobe posterior segmentectomy was successfully performed.
  • Intraoperative frozen section diagnosed adenomatous hyperplasia of alveolar epithelial.
  • A sequential dissection technique and electric hook facilitated the procedure, minimizing lung manipulation and blood loss.

Implications:

  • VATS is a viable option for lung nodule resection in patients with poor pulmonary reserve.
  • Minimally invasive techniques can achieve accurate diagnosis and treatment with reduced morbidity.
  • The sequential dissection approach may optimize surgical efficiency in VATS segmentectomies.
