This study details thoracoscopic S7 segmentectomy, a minimally invasive lung surgery. It highlights crucial anatomical knowledge, particularly bronchial branching patterns, for successful S7 segmentectomy procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Surgical anatomy
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Medial-basal segment (S7) segmentectomy technical details are not well-documented.
  • Limited information exists on the specific anatomical features required for S7 segmentectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technical aspects of thoracoscopic S7 segmentectomy and S7a subsegmentectomy.
  • To elucidate the essential anatomical knowledge for performing S7 segmentectomy.
  • To emphasize the significance of understanding bronchus (B7) branching patterns preoperatively.

Main Methods:

  • Thoracoscopic surgical approach for S7 segmentectomy and S7a subsegmentectomy.
  • Detailed anatomical review focusing on S7 and its associated bronchus (B7).

Main Results:

  • Successful execution of thoracoscopic S7 segmentectomy and S7a subsegmentectomy is demonstrated.
  • Key anatomical landmarks and B7 branching variations relevant to S7 segmentectomy are identified.

Conclusions:

  • Thoracoscopic S7 segmentectomy is feasible with appropriate anatomical understanding.
  • Preoperative identification of B7 branching patterns is critical for safe and effective S7 segmentectomy.
