Description
Qing Liang and nine co-authors refine surgery for a rare lung defect in a 2026 study. Pulmonary sequestration is a birth defect where a lung segment lacks a clear border with normal tissue. Surgeons often remove a whole lobe, which costs the patient healthy lung function.
Before surgery, detailed CT scans rebuilt the lung in three dimensions to test a smaller cut. During surgery, a dye that glows under special light marked the true border after the feeding artery was cut. Forty-seven patients treated since early 2023 were analyzed. The combined method let surgeons remove only a wedge of tissue. Saving healthy lung matters most for young patients with decades of breathing ahead.
