Abstract

Abstract Pulmonary segmentectomy refers to the anatomic resection of lung parenchyma, which isolates bronchopulmonary from terminal bronchus to hilum after cutting the pulmonary artery, vein, and bronchus. It has been applied in the treatment of primary lung cancer, metastatic lung cancer, and other benign lesions because of the surgical techniques, such as lesion localization and recognition of the intersegmental plane. The pulmonary function of patients after pulmonary segmentectomy has been decreased to different degrees due to various factors, which may ultimately determine the overall prognosis and postoperative quality of life. This review will conclude the main techniques of pulmonary segmentectomy and its effect on lung function.
