Abstract
Difficulties of a right lower lobectomy mainly depend on the completeness of the major fissure. If the fissure is open, this lobectomy can be straightforward, with an easy dissection and control of the arterial trunk. If the fissure is fused and/or thick, dissection of the artery can be tedious. In these cases, it can be advisable to start the procedure by opening the anterior part of the fissure and approaching the arteries from the front.
