[Thoracoscopic Right Upper Lobectomy for Lung Cancer with Tracheal Bronchus:Report of a Case].

A man in his 60s presented with an abnormal shadow on chest radiography. Computed tomography (CT) showed a tumor, measuring 6.1 cm, in the right upper lobe and an anomalous bronchus arising from the trachea. Following transbronchial biopsy and examinations, the patient was diagnosed with stageⅡB lung adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent a multiport thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy and lymph node dissection. Preoperatively, the information of the tracheal bronchus was shared in the surgical team. During the procedure, the tracheal bronchus was detected behind the azygos arch. The azygos arch and tracheal bronchus were dissected by a stapler. The tracheal bronchus stump was covered by a pedicled pericardial fat pad. No complications were observed perioperatively. Information of anomalies should be shared in the surgical team, including anesthesiologists preoperatively.
