Totally endoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomies

: Although some series of video-assisted major pulmonary resections have been reported, very few series of totally endoscopic lobectomies have been published and - to our knowledge - none of totally endoscopic anatomic segmentectomies. We have recently performed five anatomic segmentectomies using this approach. The video demonstrates the main steps of the procedure, based on the recordings of three different operations: a lingulectomy, a left basilar segmentectomy and a resection of the right lower lobe superior segment.
