Thoracoscopic Extended Right Middle Plus Lower Sleeve Lobectomy for Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

The video aims to demonstrate the procedures for thoracoscopic right middle plus lower sleeve lobectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer. Early advanced non-small-cell lung cancers of the central airway may require bronchial reconstruction. Preoperative evaluations begins with a bronchoscopy to confirm the diagnosis and bronchial invasion.

Contrast enhanced CT scans is required to demonstrate the tumor and potential vascular involvement. Our patient was a 57-year-old man who presented with mild hemoptysis. He underwent a bronchoscopy and confirmed a squamous cell carcinoma in his bronchus intermedius.
