Thoracoscopic Segmentectomy for Right Upper Lobe With Unique Anatomic Variation

The bronchial segmentation and its anatomical variations. A clinical-anatomic and bronchoscopy study

Silvia Martin-Ruiz et al.

Summary: The development of interventional respiratory medicine relies on bronchial anatomical knowledge and variations, with this study aiming to describe the frequency of variations and analyze bronchial lengths. Results revealed no significant differences in variation incidence or bronchus length by sex, with the left main bronchus being the longest and the left upper lobe bronchus the shortest. Variations were most common in the right lower lobe, with the subsuperior bronchus (B*) being the most frequent. Despite a small sample size, a high percentage of variations were observed, suggesting a potential high prevalence of variations in the general population.

VATS right posterior segmentectomy with anomalous bronchi and pulmonary vessels: a case report and literature review

Jianbin Zhang et al.

Summary: Anatomic segmentectomy can be challenging and risky with anatomical variations, but the use of 3D-CTBA guided accurate RS2 segmentectomy in this case successfully addressed anomalous bronchi and pulmonary vessels in the right upper posterior segment. The postoperative condition was stable, emphasizing the importance of 3D-CTBA in guiding precise segmentectomy in cases with anatomical variations.
