A 52-year-old woman had undergone video-assisted thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy for primary lung cancer. Although her postoperative course was uneventful progressive subcutaneous emphysema of the thorax and neck was developed 6 weeks after the lobectomy. Her chest computed tomography revealed intercostal lung herniation and subcutaneous emphysema. Surgical repair was performed via thoracoscopic assistance. The damaged portion of the lung was resected and the ribs were fixed using a wire for sternal suturing.
