Abstract
This report describes a case of thoracoscopic right basilar segmentectomy after upper lobectomy. A 76-year-old man who underwent right upper lobectomy for lung tuberculosis 50 years earlier had a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma, stage IB (T2a N0 M0), in the right lower lobe and underwent right basilar segmentectomy for limited resection. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient showed no recurrence clinically, and the 1-year postoperative chest computed tomographic scan showed adequate volume of the middle and residual right lower lobe without emphysematous changes.
