Abstract
The principles of lobectomy are similar in children and adults although technical precision is required for pulmonary surgery of small infants. In general, a lobectomy includes several basic steps as follows: the handling of the fissure, vascular system, and bronchus. In most instances it is better to dissect out and control the pulmonary arterial branches first, venous drainage second, and the bronchus last.
