Summary:The thoracoscope was inserted toward the base of lobe; the blood vessels and bronchi branching to the lung lobe were bluntly dissected from the lung lobe and surrounding connective tissues and were closed using intracorporal ligation, ligating loop and/or clipping. [...]the pulmonary vein was isolated using a 5-mm Maryland curved forceps (Karl Storz SE & Co. KG) and a 5-mm right-angled forceps (Karl Storz SE & Co. KG) from the lung lobe and surrounding tissues and occluded at the four haemoclips (5-mm Hem-o-lok, ML, Teleflex, North Carolina, USA). The fifth intercostal port was removed and enlarged to approximately 3 cm, so the excised lung lobe put in a sterile collection bag was took out from the body via the enlarged fifth intercostal incision. The pulmonary vein was first dissected from the lung lobe and surrounding tissues using a 5-mm Maryland curved forceps (Karl Storz SE & Co. KG) and a 5-mm right-angled forceps (Karl Storz SE & Co. KG) and occluded with five haemoclips (5-mm Hem-o-lok, ML), and was then resected with three haemoclips remaining in the body (figure 7).
