Moreover, segmentectomy is now seen as an alternative to a more radical lobectomy, especially for lung cancer. This review explores the connection between the anatomical structure of the lungs, especially their segments, and surgical procedures. Further research on minimally invasive surgical procedures...

Discover the path and purpose of the Superior lobar artery of the left lung and its clinical correlates.
Anatomical variants and notes from the author about the anatomical labeling of the thorax CT: In the lower lobe of the left lung, there is an inconstant subsuperior pulmonary segment that is seen in approximately 30% of individuals, located between the superior and basal segments of the lower ...
These bilateral structures occupy the pleural cavities and consist of lobes and bronchopulmonary segments separated by fissures. Air enters and leaves the lungs via a network of passageways consisting of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. Several structures enter each lung via a hilum: ...
Course: Accompanies the inferior lobar bronchus of the right lung. Branches: Anterior, medial, lateral, and posterior basal segmental arteries. Supplied Structures: Basal bronchopulmonary segments of the inferior lobe of the right lung. Complete Anatomy ...

-lobar segmental = number of lung segments end of respiratory passage bronchi -> terminalbronchioles -> respiratory bronchioles -> alveolar sacs -> alveoli pleural cavity -space between visceral and parietal pleura, filled with fluid-the fluid reduces friction, creates surface tension that helps ...
Each of these segments operates independently of the others and is separated by connective tissue. There are ten segments in the right lung and only eight or nine in the left lung due to anatomical differences. Bronchioles At the bronchopulmonary segments is where the bronchi turn into bronchioles...
It divides into two secondary lobar bronchi, which enter the two lobes of the left lung. The bronchi divide further into 10 bronchopulmonary segments in the right bronchi and eight to 10 in the left. Bronchioles The bronchopulmonary segments subdivide into progressively smaller passageways known...
