Abstract
The procedure is similar to a trisegmentectomy (see page ?) but poses two problems:
-
The number of arteries has to be precisely determined, if possible with help of preoperative modelization, so that only the branches to S1 and S2 will be divided, with preservation of the truncus anterior.
-
Bronchi must be individualized before stapling so that B1+2 cannot be mistaken for the whole bronchial trunk.
