Each segment has a pyramidal structure with its apex at the hilum and its base on the surface of the lung. It is supplied solely, with few collateral connections between segments, by the following structures: (1) a segmental bronchus as tertiary branch of the bronchial tree; (2) a segmental branch of the pulmonary artery (as well as the bronchial artery); and (3) a segmental (with or without an intersegmental) branch of the pulmonary vein together with lymphatics. Anatomic sublobar segmental resection, or segmentectomy, describes a technique of excision of lung tissue based on the bronchovascular anatomy.
