There are a lot of clinical importances of Bronchopulmonary Segments. For instance,knowledge of the bronchopulmomary segments is essential for precise interpretation of radiographs and other medical images of the lungs. Knowledge of these segments is also essential for surgical resection of diseased segments. Bronchial and pulmonary disorders such as rumors or abscesses (collection of pulps) often localized in a bronchopulmomary segments ( posterior segment of right upper lobe and apical segment of the right lower lobe ), which may be surgically resected. During treatment of lung cancer, the surgeon may remove the whole lung (pneumonectomy) , a lobe (lobectomy) , or a bronchopulmomary segment (segmentectomy).

A surgeon removed three adjacent bronchopulmonary segments from the left lung of a TB patient almost half of the lung was removed yet there was no severe bleeding why was the surgery so easy?

The vascular supply to each bronchopulmonary segment arrives via a single separate point of entry, the hilus, so it is easy to ligate. The vessels out in the spongy lung tissue itself are few and tiny. Each segment is surrounded by connective tissue.Source(s):http://anatomy.med.umich.edu/respiratory…
