BACKGROUND: Although an increasing number of approaches for pulmonary segmentectomy to treat early lung cancer are being used, there have been few reports on left upper lobe trisegmentectomy, which is midway between single segmentectomy and lobectomy, for lung cancer. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 86 clinical stage I case-matched patients with a tumor size of less than 2.0 cm in diameter located in the left upper division who underwent resection between June 1998 and December 2005. The patients were divided into two groups as follows: LTS (31), left upper lobe trisegmentectomy; LUL (55), left upper lobectomy. We evaluated these groups with respect to several factors. RESULTS: The characteristics of the two groups (LTS vs. LUL) demonstrated no significant differences with respect to gender, histological type, tumor size, or upstaging of pathological node, or the mode of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Patients with LTS had a significantly lower pulmonary function compared to the LUL group. There were no significant differences between the two groups with respect to factors such as blood loss and duration of chest tube drainage. Morbidity and recurrence rates did not differ between the two groups, and there was no mortality in our series. The overall survival rate at 5 years was 69.7 % in the LTS and 72.5 % in the LUL group. There was no significant difference in survival rates between the LTS and the LUL group after resection. CONCLUSION: LTS may be suitable as a standard treatment if the tumor is small and the suspected margins are well away from the lingula.
