Abstract

Objectives: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration (ILS) is rare and its optimal clinical management remains ambiguous. This study aimed to introduce our ten-year experience in clinical management of ILS. And the application of our novel surgical method, thoracoscopic anatomical lesion resection (TALR) on ILS was introduced. Materials and Methods: Patients with ILS who received treatment between December 2010 and December 2020 were included in this study, retrospectively. A binary logistic regression model was used to assess risk factors for preoperative symptoms. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were compared between the thoracoscopic lobectomy and lung-sparing surgery groups. Results: A total of 112 patients were included in this study. Age and maximum cyst diameter were risk factors for preoperative symptoms. Lung-sparing surgery proved to be safe and feasible with no residual lesions. Conclusions: The overall prognosis of early thoracoscopic surgery for ILS was good. Lung-sparing surgery, especially TALR could be used as a first-line surgery for ILS. It may resolve the long-standing controversy over whether surgery for asymptomatic patients with ILS.
