Area of Science:

Thoracic Surgery
Surgical Oncology
Pulmonary Medicine

Background:

Minimally invasive pulmonary segmentectomy provides oncologic treatment with lung preservation.
Resection of individual basal segments presents unique surgical challenges.

Observation:

A fully thoracoscopic multiport approach is favored for its direct access and versatility.
This technique allows adaptation for unexpected intraoperative findings, including conversion to lobectomy.

Findings:

Key elements of posterobasal segmentectomy include precise patient positioning and trocar placement.
A standardized technique for dissecting segmental vessels and bronchi is crucial.
Accurate division of the intersegmental plane ensures successful resection.

Implications:

This approach can minimize perioperative morbidity and hospital stay.
It offers a versatile and adaptable method for complex pulmonary segment resections.
Optimized techniques enhance the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive segmentectomy.
