Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomies are usually more complex procedures than lobectomies. With the gained experience in the field of thoracoscopic surgery, many thoracic surgery departments have progressively adopted this technique to preserve lung parenchyma, especially in cases of metastasis or benign conditions. The majority of surgeons use three incisions but the procedure can be performed by only one port. We report the first anatomic segmentectomy performed by uniportal VATS with no rib spreading.
电视辅助胸腔镜手术（VATS）段切除术通常比肺叶切除术更为复杂。随着胸腔镜手术领域经验的积累，许多胸外科部门已经逐步采用这种技术来保留肺实质，特别是在转移或良性情况下。大多数外科医生使用三个切口，但该程序也可以通过一个端口进行。我们报告了首例通过单端口 VATS 进行的解剖性节段切除术，无需肋骨撑开。
