AB Nonanatomic,  sublobar  “wedge”  resection  of  lung  cancer  is  generally  considered  a  “compromise”  pulmonary  resection  for  primary  treatment  of  lung  cancer  directed  to  the  physiologically  impaired  patient  who  is  at  high  risk  for  lobectomy.1,2  This  assessment  of  the  clinical  utility  of  wedge  resection  is  being  challenged,  particularly  for  the  management  of  the  small  peripheral  lung  cancer  where  a  generous  wedge  resection  can  be  accomplished  with  acceptable  surgical  margins.
