Uniportal Thoracoscopic Single-Direction Basal Subsegmentectomy (Left S10a+ci): Trans-Inferior-Pulmonary-Ligament Approach.

ABSTRACT: Thoracoscopic segmentectomy and subsegmentectomy have been widely accepted for the treatment of peripheral small lung cancers. Thoracoscopic basal subsegmentectomy, especially when performed through a uniportal procedure, is extremely technically challenging, and therefore there are seldom reports of its technical details. In this article, we present a uniportal thoracoscopic left S10a+ci subsegmentectomy following the single-direction strategy through the inferior pulmonary ligament approach.
