Preoperative planning and perioperative guidance are crucial in anatomical sublobar
pulmonary resections. Preoperative virtual reality visualization of the computed tomography …

Background Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become a standard
approach for the treatment of lung cancer. However, its minimally invasive nature limits the …

OBJECTIVES Recently, preoperative and intraoperative simulation using three-dimensional
computed tomography (CT) has attracted much attention in thoracic surgery. However …

The possibility of using three-dimensional reconstructions as an intraoperative aid to
thoracic surgeons has not yet been fully explored. With this in mind, we developed a …

Objectives Routine imaging modalities combined with state-of-the-art reconstruction
software can substantially improve preoperative planning and simplify complex procedure …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 3-dimensional
computed tomography (3D-CT) software in short-term surgical outcomes and the …

Background Lately, increased interest in pulmonary segmentectomy has been observed.
Segmental border identification is extremely difficult on 2-dimensional computed …

This report describes a 3-dimensional (3-D) video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection
guided by a 3-D video navigation system having a patient-specific 3-D reconstructed …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of a novel
simulation software called, virtual segmentectomy. METHODS We developed the …

Introduction Video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery is widely used for resecting early‐stage
non‐small cell lung cancer. Segmentectomy and subsegmentectomy require a thorough …
