Experience reported in the literature increasingly supports the notion that segmentectomy is
comparable with lobectomy for small tumors (≤ 2 cm), provided that the lesion is located …

The role of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the treatment of lung cancer is well
established. However a topic of current debate centers on the role of parenchymal-sparing …

Pulmonary segmentectomy has become a good option for small peripheral non-small cell
lung cancers and is currently being evaluated in a large North American randomized study …

Background Segmentectomy is increasingly performed for non–small cell lung cancer.
However, comparative outcomes data among open, robotic-assisted, and video-assisted …

Minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer has seen considerable progress. A
segmentectomy is less invasive than a lobectomy as it preserves lung parenchyma. The …

BACKGROUND: Anatomic sublobar resection is currently being assessed as an alternative
to lobectomy for primary lung cancers less than 2 cm in size. Open segmentectomy is a …

Pulmonary segmentectomy was first described in 1939 for the treatment of benign lung
conditions. 1 Since then, anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy has been demonstrated to be …

While lobectomy is the standard procedure for early stage lung cancer, the role of sublobar
resection is currently under investigation for selected patients with small tumors. In this …

OBJECTIVES: Anatomic segmentectomy is increasingly being considered as a means of
achieving an R0 resection for peripheral, small, stage I non–small-cell lung cancer. In the …

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 …
