Abstract
Complete resection is the optimal treatment for primary lung cancer. The choice of surgical methods varies depending on tumor size, tumor location, and each patient's respiratory reserve. Currently, lobectomy with lymph node dissection is the gold standard for the surgical management of lung cancer. However, many thoracic surgical candidates also have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or emphysema and thus present with minimal lung reserve. In the past few years, more reports have been published on the outcomes of patients who underwent anatomic segmentectomy for lung cancer. Herein we report the surgical outcomes of a patient with limited respiratory reserve, who underwent double segmentectomy.
