Abstract：During a health screening,a mixed ground-glass nodule(mGGN)with a CTR<0.5 was observed in the left upper lobe on chest CT and subsequently diagnosed as early-stage lung carcinoma.The 3 D-CTBA reconstruction revealed that the pulmonary nodule was situated in the peripheral third of the B subsegment of the left upper lung lobe,adjacent to the C subsegment and distanced from the A subsegment.Unilateral single-port VATS left upper lung combined subsegmentectomy of left S3 b+c was performed.The final surgical pathology indicated highly differentiated lepidic predominant adenocarcinoma(LPA),with no metastasis to mediastinal lymph nodes.It was shown that pulmonary combined subsegmentectomy not only completely excised the lesion but also better preserved lung functions.It is recommended for the treatment of pulmonary ground-glass nodules measuring less than 3 cm and with a CTR≤0.5.
