Abstract
Upper division segmentectomy is quite similar to a left upper lobectomy and is more and more performed, as it seems that its oncological results are equivalent to those of a left upper lobectomy. This segmentectomy can be tricky because the bronchial trunk is in close contact with the truncus anterior, especially if adherent lymph nodes are present.
