Abstract:
The right middle lobe segments (RS4 and RS5) are very small and the technique for segmentectomy is rarely reported. Here, we report 3 cases of thoracoscopic RS4 segmentectomy with VVBA (V, vein; V, ventilation; B, bronchus; A, artery) method. The VVBA method for thoracoscopic segmentectomy is a simple, safe, and effective procedure for RS4 segmentectomy with clear procedural steps. It overcomes the difficulty in manipulation of incomplete lung fissures and simplifies the surgical procedures.
