Right uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lung-sparing sleeve resection of the bronchus intermedius.

Complete surgical resection has been the main treatment modality for pulmonary neoplasms without locoregional or distant spread of the disease. Sleeve resections were developed to minimize unnecessary loss of pulmonary parenchyma mainly in the case of centrally located tumours. Experience with sleeve resections and recent technological advancements made minimally invasive resection possible for selected patients.
