Abstract
Single-incision thoracoscopic surgery (SITS) is not yet widely used for treating pulmonary sequestration due to the difficulty of manipulating an aberrant systemic artery or working around inflamed tissue. It is also difficult to control massive bleeding if the aberrant artery ruptures during excision. We modified the SITS lobectomy technique so that it was suitable for treating pulmonary sequestration. We changed the order of excision of anatomical structures and introduced two-stage stapling of the aberrant artery for easy, safe stapling in SITS lobectomy. Single-port VATS is an acceptable method for major pulmonary resection for the treatment of intrapulmonary sequestration.
