Electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy‐guided dye marking to identify the subsegmental bronchus in thoracoscopic anatomic subsegmentectomy

Video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) subsegmentectomy has been widely used to resect small‐sized lung lesions in clinical practice. Precise identification of the subsegmental bronchus is one of the essential steps in performing thoracoscopic anatomic subsegmentectomy. Here, we report a thorac...

Sumario:Video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) subsegmentectomy has been widely used to resect small‐sized lung lesions in clinical practice. Precise identification of the subsegmental bronchus is one of the essential steps in performing thoracoscopic anatomic subsegmentectomy. Here, we report a thoracoscopic right S(2)a segmentectomy with preoperative electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB)‐guided injection of methylene blue to identify the subsegmental bronchus in a 51‐year‐old male. We successfully performed complicated surgery using this method. This ENB‐guided dye marking method may accurately distinguish the subsegmental bronchus to effectively guide surgery.
