Abstract

This article, titled "Editorial comment: medial-basal pulmonary segment right lower lobe—is it unique?", discusses the unique characteristics of the medial-basal segment of the right lower lobe (RS7) in the lungs. The RS7 segment is the smallest of all pulmonary segments and is only found in the right lung. It is typically not removed as a single segment but is often combined with adjacent segments during surgery. The article also highlights the technical details of RS7 segmentectomy, including the anatomy of the segmental bronchus and artery. The authors propose a new classification system for the segmental bronchus (B7) and its variants to aid in the understanding and planning of RS7 segmentectomy. Overall, this article provides valuable information for surgeons and researchers studying pulmonary anatomy and surgical techniques. [Extracted from the article]
