Intralobar pulmonary sequestration: robotical resection using indocyanine green

Jonas Mohnke et al. J Surg Case Rep. .

Abstract

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a relatively rare congenital lung anomaly. There are two different subtypes of PS, intralobar and extralobar sequestration. The majority of cases is constituted by intralobar sequestration. Here, we report a case of a 39-year-old female with intralobar sequestration, which was successfully resected by robotic-assisted surgery.
