Abstract

Reports of right middle lobe segmentectomy are rare. We report here that anatomical right middle lobe segmentectomy is a relatively simple surgical procedure and can achieve good expansion of the remnant lung for patients with a relatively large right middle lobe.

Keywords: Complete video-assisted thoracic surgery; Right middle lobe; Segmentectomy.
