Simple method for distinguishing the intersegmental plane in thoracoscopic lung segmentectomy

Here, we introduce a simple method for delineating the intersegmental border in thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy which can be widely reproduced because it is less time‐consuming, fault‐tolerant, and does not require any special chemical reagents or equipment. This method provides clear and accurate demarcation lines between the inflated and deflated lung parenchyma. KEY POINTS: A method with an effective and simple application which can be popularized. This modified targeted bronchus inflation method provides a clear and accurate intersegmental plane.
