N2 - Anatomical segmentectomy has been established as a valid surgical option for early-stage lung cancer. However, this procedure could be technically demanding due to the anatomical variability of segmental bronchovascular structures. Misinterpretation of segmental anatomy could result in numerous postoperative complications. The routine use of three-dimensional reconstruction and preoperative planning is recommended to overcome this problem. We present a surgical case of a successfully conducted minimally invasive segmentectomy by utilizing three-dimensional reconstruction and preoperative planning.
