    Author: Acharya MN, Haqzad YS, Rao JN, Socci L.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2015 Nov; 23(9):1129-31. PubMed ID: 26124430.
    Abstract:
    Lobar torsion is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication following pulmonary resection. Surgical management usually entails an exploratory thoracotomy and resection of the involved lobe if nonviable. We present the case of a 67-year-old woman diagnosed with right middle lobe torsion 5 days after thoracotomy and right upper lobectomy for squamous carcinoma of the lung. A thoracoscopic right middle lobectomy was successfully performed utilizing a single 4-cm port placed along the midaxillary line in the 5th intercostal space.
