Sleeve resection is an excellent surgical technique for most primary tracheal or bronchial tumors. However, depending on the size and location of the tumor, thoracoscopic wedge resection of trachea or bronchus can be performed with the assistance of a fiberoptic bronchoscope for some malignant and benign tumors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case Description<\/jats:title><jats:p>We performed a single incision video-assisted bronchial wedge resection in a patient with a left main bronchial hamartoma with a size of 7\u2009\u00d7\u20095\u2009\u00d7\u20095\u2005mm. The patient was discharged from the hospital six days after the surgery with no postoperative complications. There was no obvious discomfort during the 6-month postoperative follow-up, and the reexamination of fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed no evident stenosis of the incision.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Through the detailed case study and literature review, we believe that tracheal or bronchial wedge resection is a significantly superior technique under the appropriate conditions. Video-assisted thoracoscopic wedge resection of trachea or bronchus should be a new and excellent development direction of minimally invasive bronchial surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2023.1122075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,14]],"date-time":"2023-02-14T16:56:08Z","timestamp":1676393768000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Tracheal or bronchial wedge resection: Case report"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Zhenhua","family":"Jiao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhe","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"117","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(96)70185-X","article-title":"Pulmonary function and postoperative complications after wedge and flap reconstructions of the main bronchus","volume":"112","author":"Khargi","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"883","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-7940(02)00089-1","article-title":"Surgery in bronchial carcinoids: experience with 83 patients","volume":"21","author":"Toledo","year":"2002","journal-title":"Eur J Cardiothorac Surg"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"373","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2007.03.020","article-title":"Sleeve and wedge parenchyma-sparing bronchial resections in low-grade neoplasms of the bronchial airway","volume":"134","author":"Kurul","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1355","DOI":"10.21037\/jtd.2019.03.89","article-title":"Role of wedge resection in bronchial carcinoid (BC) tumors: SEER database analysis","volume":"11","author":"Rahouma","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Thorac Dis"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"527","DOI":"10.1016\/1010-7940(90)90140-U","article-title":"Limited and radical resection for tracheal and bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumour.
