Background Pulmonary segmentectomy is being increasingly used to resect small lung
nodules; however, identifying the intersegmental plane is difficult. We describe a new …

Anatomical segmentectomy is gathering increasing interest among thoracic surgeons
because of increased detection of pulmonary nodules with ground-glass opacity (GGO) as …

OBJECTIVES The technique of simultaneously visualizing pulmonary nodules and the
intersegmental plane using fluorescent images was developed to measure the distance …

This paper analyzed the results of a modified and simpler technique for distinguishing the
intersegmental border during lung segmentectomy surgery. From January 2013 to …

OBJECTIVE: Segmentectomy is an anatomic parenchyma-sparing resection that is recently
being performed for small-sized lung carcinoma and constitutes a useful procedure in a …

Segmentectomy is a widely adopted surgical procedure, however, experiences of tailoring
the intersegmental border have rarely been reported. This paper investigates the strategy …

Pulmonary segmentectomy is generally acknowledged to be more technically complex than
lobectomy. Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) angiography is useful for …

Small lung cancers are being increasing diagnosed because of advances in computed
tomography (CT) and low-dose CT screening. Sublobar resection of peripheral, small lung …

Background Despite its popularity in recent years, segmentectomy still faces a challenge:
the accurate delineation of the intersegmental plane, especially in complex segmentectomy …

Background Currently, methods for identifying the intersegmental plane during anatomical
segmentectomy can be classified into 2 categories: the bronchial method and the vascular …
