Anatomic basal segmentectomy is often regarded as a complex procedure, particularly in the presence of complex anatomical variations.
Herein, we present a case of a 55-year-old female patient diagnosed with invasive lung adenocarcinoma. Three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) displayed a unique combined variation in the basal segment of right lower lobe (RLL): The medial basal subsegmental bronchi (BXa+BXt) originated from both the anterior and posterior segmental bronchi; The medial basal subsegmental arteries emanated from the anterior and posterior basal segmental arteries; The medial anterior segmental vein shared a trunk with both the anterior basal and lateral basal subsegmental veins. With precise preoperative planning, thoracoscopic anterior basal segmentectomy was successfully executed.
This case again highlights the importance of 3D-reconstruction in pulmonary segmentectomy. Detailed understanding of anatomic features of segmental bronchi and vessels is imperative for those with complex anatomical variations.
解剖性肺段切除术常被视为一种复杂的手术,尤其是在存在复杂解剖变异的情况下。
在此,我们报告一例55岁女性患者,诊断为浸润性肺腺癌。三维计算机断层扫描支气管造影和血管造影(3D-CTBA)显示右下叶(RLL)基底段存在独特的联合变异:内侧基底亚段支气管(BXa+BXt)起源于前段支气管和后段支气管;内侧基底亚段动脉发自前基底段动脉和后基底段动脉;前段内侧静脉与前基底亚段静脉和外侧基底亚段静脉共用一个主干。通过精确的术前规划,成功实施了胸腔镜下前基底段切除术。
该病例再次强调了三维重建在肺段切除术中的重要性。对于存在复杂解剖变异的患者,详细了解肺段支气管和血管的解剖特征至关重要。
