Resection of the apical posterior segment of the upper lobe of the left lung is difficult, the risk of the operation is relatively high, and the requirements for the doctor’s skills are relatively high, and the doctor who has a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the lungs and the tissues of the lung lobes is required to carry out the operation.
The left upper lobe apical posterior segment nodule is mainly completed under the operation of thoracoscopy, need to find the artery of the lung lobe through the thoracoscope, the artery should be well ligated and cut off, and then inserted into the bronchoscope, after determining the position, also need to observe the boundary between the nodule site and the healthy tissues, and then through the incision of the pleura, separating the lung tissues and the posterior end of the incision, and so on until the completion of the operation is completed can be ended.
During the whole operation, the operation space is relatively small when separating the segmental trachea and the segmental artery, and there are a lot of blood vessels in the surrounding area, so it is very easy to cause hemorrhage when trying to expose them, which is also the main difficulty of the operation.
Although the risk of surgery is high, the prognosis of most patients after surgery is very good, and basically it can be completely cured, but we should do a good job of checking before the operation.
