In the United States, it causes more cancer-related deaths than the next four causes （breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer） of cancer-related mortality combined （1）. About 30% of people have already progressed to stage III lung cancer and 40% to stage IV at the time they are diagnosed （2）. Although chest X-ray and sputum cytology, when applied in health check-ups, can identify some relatively small tumors, they are not able to lower the overall mortality （3）. More recently,展开更多

Case: A 2-year-old girl with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the right middle lobe (RML) was referred to our institution for further management after a series of infections. The vein of the RML, which drains into the superior pulmonary vein, was isolated and divided using endoclips. The bronchus was then exposed and divided using endo-clips. The arteries of the RML could be identified and ligated, allowing a line demarcating the major fissure to be identified and dissected. A stapler device was then used to seal the lung parenchyma and create a division between the right upper and middle lobes. She is currently well after follow-up of 16 months, with no episodes of respiratory distress or recurrence of symptoms. Conclusion: Our technique for dividing the pulmonary vein, then the bronchus, then the pulmonary artery and finally the fused fissure is safe and could be applied whenever fused fissures are encountered during thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy.展开更多
