title: Selective segmental jet injection to distinguish the intersegmental plane using jet ventilation.
abstract: 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.
