Objectives In preoperative segmentectomy simulation for primary lung cancer, it is important
to identify the intersegmental pulmonary veins and the relationship between them and the …

Background Few reliable methods to simulate and evaluate the intersegmental plane have
been reported. We introduce intersegmental plane simulation based on the bronchus-vein …

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

Background: Video-assisted modified segmentectomy is segmental resection using an end-
stapler without regards to anatomical broncho-segmental planes. This procedure is effective …

Objectives Accurate cancer localization and negative resection margins are necessary for
successful segmentectomy. In this study, we evaluate a newly developed software package …

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 …

OBJECTIVE To estimate the probability that a lung cancer arising in a segment has safety
anatomical margin for segmentectomy by using a computed-tomography (CT)-based …

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

Advances in CT have enabled us to detect small lung cancers, which has changed the lung
cancer surgery from lobectomy to a lesser lobar resection such as a segmentectomy or …

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of 320-detector row
computed tomography (CT) with that of 64-detector row CT for three-dimensional …
