Uniportal left S1+2 segmentectomy is a minimally invasive approach for early lung cancer. This technique preserves pulmonary function by targeting the apical segment of the left upper lobe.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Pulmonary Oncology

Background:

  • Left upper segmentectomy is a recognized thoracic surgical procedure.
  • Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) often employs fissureless techniques.
  • Early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the apical segment presents a surgical challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique of uniportal left S1+2 segmentectomy.
  • To present this approach as a lung-sparing alternative for early NSCLC.
  • To highlight the suitability of this technique within a unidirectional VATS approach.

Main Methods:

  • Uniportal left S1+2 segmentectomy performed anteriorly.
  • Dissection of vasculature, bronchus, and intersegmental plane.
Keywords:
S1 + 2SegmentectomyUniportal VATS

  • Integration with fissureless VATS techniques.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful application of uniportal left S1+2 segmentectomy.
    • Demonstrated potential for preserving pulmonary function compared to tri-segmentectomy.
    • Facilitated minimally invasive treatment for apical NSCLC.

    Conclusions:

    • Uniportal left S1+2 segmentectomy is a viable, lung-sparing option for early NSCLC.
    • The unidirectional approach aligns well with fissureless VATS.
    • This technique offers a minimally invasive alternative to preserve lung function.
