Abstract
Acute exacerbation (AE) of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is among the most fatal postoperative complications of lung resection in patients with IPF. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with IPF exhibits basal segment dominance. Treatment options for these lesions include lobectomy or basal segment segmentectomies. However, these procedures potentially increase risks of AE due to surgical stress including prolonged operative time and loss of pulmonary function. Therefore, as an alternative to these procedures, we developed a simple and practical deep wedge resection technique for basal segments. Our technique is minimally invasive and quick and simple approach in patients with NSCLC and IPF.
