Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lower lobe bisegmentectomy (S7/8) for a central pulmonary metastasis.

Surgery for pulmonary metastasis is performed heterogeneously with regard to surgical approach [open vs. video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)] and resection techniques (e.g., laser enucleation, electro-cautery resection, stapling). Complete tumor resection and preservation of lung parenchyma are of upmost importance. This is technically challenging, especially for central lesions close to vascular and bronchial segmental structures. Thus, simple thoracoscopic wedge resections are often not feasible. A VATS lower lobe bisegmentectomy (S7/8) was performed on a 62-year-old patient with a suspicious pulmonary nodule and a history of hemicolectomy for colorectal carcinoma. Different VATS techniques of vessel dissection and parenchymal control were applied. VATS anatomic segmental resections represent a helpful tool in surgical therapy of central pulmonary metastasis.
