Thoracoscopic segmentectomy might be an alternative to lobectomy for small size lung cancer. Precise identification of the pulmonary intersegmental plane was needed for an optimal segmentectomy. Recently, (1) the ultra‐high‐definition 4K systems had claimed to overcome the lack of depth perception by secondary visual cues; (2) the no‐waiting procedure was induced as an alternative and optimized method for identifying the plane. It was unclear whether combined ultra‐high‐definition 4K endovision systems with “no‐waiting” technique in thoracoscopic segmentectomy could achieve an excellent result. A 68‐year‐old female patient was admitted into our hospital for occasional pulmonary nodule during her routine physical examination. The nodule is located between S8 and S9 segment, and was suspected to be an early‐stage lung cancer. She underwent a thoracoscopic S89 complex segmentectomy using ultra‐high‐definition 4K endovision systems and “no‐waiting” surgical technique. The intersegmental plane was clearly detected and easily treated by the endoscopic linear cutting staplers. The patient recovered well and was discharged without complications. Combining ultra‐high‐definition 4K endovision systems with “no‐waiting” technique seems to be an optimal thoracoscopic segmentectomy approach for the management of lung cancers.
