概要	Although pulmonary arteries in almost all sharing structures in the right upper lobes straddled anterior bronchi, those in mediastinal type and interlobar type in the left upper lobe were found to straddle the anterior and apicoposterior bronchi, respectively. These findings indicated that the interlobar type was speculated to be rotating mediastinal type backward in the embryonic period. This study strongly suggested a new concept that 'the lung segments never continuously exist from the early stage of the embryonic period as units, but they are only simple units artificially named by their prevailing bronchial branching patterns'. Therefore, during segmentectomy including lymphadenectomy for pulmonary tumours, the retrieval of the branching patters of pulmonary arteries could allow the segmentectomy to become more efficient with considering the formations of lung lobes.
