Summary
Segmentectomy is a viable lung-sparing option for right middle lobe non-small cell lung cancer, especially after prior resections. This approach preserves lung parenchyma in cases of enlarged or dilated lobes.
Area of Science:
- Thoracic Surgery
- Surgical Oncology
- Pulmonology
Background:
- Segmentectomy is standard for small peripheral non-small cell lung cancer.
- Right middle lobe segmentectomy is infrequently reported due to anatomical challenges.
