Thoracoscopic segmentectomy, involving the posterior basal segment of the lower lobe, is one of the most challenging procedures and often requires incision of irrelevant lung parenchyma from the interlobar fissure and complex stapling techniques for dividing intersegmental planes. This report describes a simplified thoracoscopic segmentectomy for the subsuperior and posterior basal segments (S∗ + S10), without interlobar fissure dissection or complex intersegmental division.
