Abstract
Bronchoplastic procedures offer better long-term survival and quality of life with
less morbidity and mortality than pneumonectomies. However, minimally invasive sleeve
lobectomy is rarely reported, and the procedure requires more skill even for experienced
hands. We report a total video-assisted thoracoscopic right upper sleeve lobectomy
for a patient with centrally located lung cancer.
