Multiple Segmentectomy for Synchronous Multiple Small Peripheral Lung Cancers: Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Treatment strategies for synchronous, multiple peripheral lung cancers remain controversial. Bilobectomy for multiple lung cancers could cause pulmonary function impairment. We report two patients with synchronous multiple peripheral non-small cell lung cancers, who underwent multiple segmentectomy simultaneously. This is the first report of consecutive segmentectomy of two segments.
