Abstract
On the right side, S2 and S1+2 and segmentectomies are frequently indicated as the location of a tumor or a nodule in S2 or at the border between S2 and S1 is not unusual. Preserving S3, rather than performing an upper lobectomy, has two advantages: this spares respiratory function and S3 is a large segment that occupies the pleural cavity and prevents reexpansion issues that can be encountered after an upper lobectomy.
