Semianatomical segmentectomy. Hilar dissection is used only for the purpose to obtain sufficient resection margins. Once the tumor is elevated during hilar dissection, the lung can be stapled similar to wedge resection. This type of resection is considered oncologically valid to resect a lesion that would be resected by wedge resection if the lesion was located more peripherally (e.g., a small pure GGO lesion or a metastatic lung tumor). GGO, ground-glass opacity.
