%X Single-port thoracoscopic surgery is becoming increasingly popular in the field of general thoracic surgery (1). However, single-port thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy still remains a giant challenge for the thoracic surgeon (2). The right secondary carinal reconstruction, a more complicated bronchoplasty procedure, has seldomly been reported even in open thoracic surgery. Here we present the case of a right main bronchus tumor closed to the orifice of right upper bronchus. This patient underwent partial right main bronchus and secondary carina resection with pulmonary preservation and a secondary carinal reconstruction in a complete single-port thoracoscopic procedure. This case report was approved by ethics committee of Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University
