Background There has been an increasing trend toward pulmonary segmentectomies to
treat early-stage lung cancer, small intrapulmonary metastases, and localized benign …

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

Simple Summary Due to the increasing incidence of early-stage lung cancer and the
demand for less invasive surgeries, sublobar resections are rapidly increasing in the field of …

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 …

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

The number of minimally invasive surgeries, such as video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery
and robot‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery, has increased enormously in recent years. More …

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

Objective Use of 3-dimensional computed tomography for preoperative and intraoperative
simulation has been introduced in the field of thoracic surgery. However, 3-dimensional …

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 …

Minimally invasive sublobar anatomical resection is becoming more and more popular to
manage early lung lesions. Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is unique in …
