A very rare case of the right middle lobe torsion postlower lobectomy due to chronic lung abscess

Middle lobe torsion (MLT) is an unusual complication in lung surgery that is usually associated with upper lobe lobectomy and rarely develops postlower lobectomy. In the case of MLT, urgent surgical intervention is required to decrease the risk of mortality and morbidity, and diagnosis is challenging due to the nonspecific symptoms of MLT. In this article, we present a case of a recurring lung abscess treated by the right lower lobectomy, complicated by the right MLT and to our knowledge MLT consider rarest complication postright lower lobectomy.
