    Abstract:
    Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has recently been introduced as an acceptable alternative to the traditional three-port VATS. Uniportal VATS lobectomy and segmentectomy actually gained increasing popularity. Until now there have been few reports about uniportal VATS basilar segmentectomy; we herein reported our experience with a patient who suffered from recurrent hemoptysis with 1-cm nodule in the basilar segment of the left lower lobe. A left basilar segmentectomy was performed through a single port. Operating time was 90 minutes, and postoperative course was uneventful. Pathology revealed cryptococcosis. Follow-up at 6 months after surgery demonstrated a normal chest computed tomographic (CT) scan and complete recovery without complications.
