Popis:	The fissure-last technique is used to minimize postoperative air leak after anatomical lung resection when the interlobar pulmonary artery is inaccessible through the fused fissure. After first dividing the hilar bronchovascular structures, the incomplete fissure is divided using staplers. This technique can be applied for lobectomy combined with segmentectomy in lung cancer with interlobar invasion. We performed this thoracoscopic fissure-last technique in a lung cancer patient in the left upper lobe with invasion to the superior segment (S6) in the left lower lobe.
