Abstract
The left lower lobectomy is usually the most straightforward endoscopic lobectomy. However, it can be difficult and tedious when the fissure is fused. In addition, when the procedure is done for lung carcinoma, lymph node dissection of station 7 can be difficult because the venous and bronchial stumps can hamper the approach to the subcarinal region (see page?). It may be preferable performing lymph node dissection before the lobectomy.
