This report describes the surgical management of a male patient with early‐stage lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic completion right lower lobectomy after previously undergoing sublobar resection for multifocal ground glass nodules of the lung. Perioperative considerations associated with the management of dense pulmonary hilar adhesions and the techniques used are discussed.
