A video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy is a technical challenge. This is due to the sophisticated anatomical variations in the segmental bronchus and vessels as well as an obscure surgical demarcation(s). For some, a segmentectomy procedure can be regarded as a lobectomy in the situations of the absence of lung fissures. Thus, the strategy of single-direction VATS lobectomy was applied in our VATS segmentectomy practice. After the introduction of this strategy, we presented the single-direction VATS left S3 segmentectomy as an example to introduce the technical characteristics of the single-direction segmentectomy.
电视辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)肺段切除术是一项技术挑战。这是由于肺段支气管和血管存在复杂的解剖变异以及手术界限不清晰。对于一些人来说,在没有肺裂的情况下,肺段切除手术可被视为肺叶切除术。因此,我们在VATS肺段切除手术实践中应用了单向VATS肺叶切除策略。引入该策略后,我们以单向VATS左S3段切除术为例介绍单向肺段切除术的技术特点。
