Abstract

BACKGROUND: Virtual-assisted lung mapping (VAL-MAP) has been used not only in wedge resection but also in segmentectomy for hardly palpable lung nodules. We herein report a case of bilateral segmentectomy using VAL-MAP with chronological change of pulmonary function test results.

CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old female was found to have a colorectal cancer with pulmonary nodules in both sides of the lungs considered as synchronous lung metastases. After sigmoidectomy for primary cancer and chemotherapy, treatments for small nodules in both sides of the lungs were planned. Most nodules were small and supposed to be impalpable. We performed thoracoscopic segmentectomy of right S8 with the aid of VAL-MAP and, after 2 months, combined subsegmentectomy of left S8a and 9a and wide wedge resection of left S8b with the aid of VAL-MAP. All nodules suspected of lung metastases were successfully resected with adequate margins, and the decrease in pulmonary function was minimal compared with predicted postoperative forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume (FEV) 1.0 calculated by the numbers of subsegments.

CONCLUSIONS: Bilateral segmentectomies of small impalpable metastatic tumors were performed successfully with the aid of VAL-MAP.
