Lung segmental resection is a better treatment option than lobectomy for patients with prenatally diagnosed congenital lung malformations (CLMs). However, data are lacking on the effects of this procedure in prenatally diagnosed CLM patients. In this study, we explored whether parenchyma-saving resection was feasible in patients with this condition.
