Abstract
Complete surgical resection has been the main treatment modality for pulmonary neoplasms without locoregional or distant spread of the disease. Sleeve resections were developed to minimize unnecessary loss of pulmonary parenchyma mainly in the case of centrally located tumours. Experience with sleeve resections and recent technological advancements made minimally invasive resection possible for selected patients. We present a case report of the totally thoracoscopic uniportal sleeve resection of the bronchus intermedius without any resection of pulmonary parenchyma. The operation was performed successfully, and the patient did not experience any postoperative complications. In this case report, we describe our surgical approach and short-term results.
