Right upper sleeve lobectomy. (A) Transect the right upper lung vein to expose the apical anterior segment of right upper lung artery; (B) dissect to expose the apical anterior segment of right upper lung artery; (C) transect the apical anterior segment of right upper lung artery using endoscopic cutter/stapler; (D) the right upper lobe bronchus is then exposed; (E) dissect to separate the intermediate bronchus in right lung; (F) divide its cartilaginous part using a pair of right-angled scissors; (G) divide its membrane part using HIFU; (H) after the sleeve resection of right upper lobe, a tracheal tube is visible via the opened airway. RLL, right lower lobe; RUL, right upper lobe; HIFU, high intensity focused ultrasound.
