Abstract

We herein report the case of a 65-year-old female with primary lung cancer who underwent a right upper and lower sleeve bilobectomy. The radiological findings revealed that the tumor was located in the superior segment of the right lower lobe and had invaded the posterior segment of the upper lobe and the truncus intermedius. We performed a right upper and lower sleeve bilobectomy. A latissimus dorsi flap was utilized to separate the thoracic cavity into upper and lower portions, and the preserved middle lobe was fixed in the upper portion to prevent torsion. Postoperative radiography showed good expansion of the middle lobe.
