Selective segmental jet injection to distinguish the intersegmental plane using jet ventilation.
We used the selective jet injection method under bronchofiberscopy to distinguish the intersegmental plane. This method can reveal the intersegmental line clearly, quickly and easily with a good operative view even through a miniature utility thoracotomy or a thoracoscope, since only the burdened segment and not the entire lobe is inflated.
