Anatomic bisegmentectomy for synchronous lung adenocarcinoma

Arthur Vieira et al. J Vis Surg. .

Abstract

Modern thoracic surgery requires the ability to manage patients with ground glass opacities (GGO). However, due to the lack of a standardize approach in our institution these cases are discussed in the tumor board. We here present our therapeutic rationale in a case of a patient with multiple GGOs, who underwent an en-bloc anatomic bisegmentectomy as surgical treatment for a synchronous lung adenocarcinoma.

Keywords: Lung; anatomic segmentectomy; bisegmentectomy; ground glass opacities (GGO); ground glass opacity; lung cancer.
