Thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy of the lung is sometime adopted for the lung
cancer, but a problem with segmentectomy is variable anatomy. Recently, we are exploring …

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

There has been an increase in pulmonary segmentectomy procedures because of
increased numbers of individuals with small lung cancer. However, it is difficult to identify the …

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

Objectives Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for both lobectomy and
segmentectomy has been used widely for early stage nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) …

We describe the benefits of simulating an anatomical lung segmentectomy using
multidetector computed tomography bronchography and angiography (tailor-made virtual …

Background The purpose of this study is to explore whether 3D printing has a better clinical
value for making a preoperative plan than three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) …

We developed a novel three-dimensional (3D) image simulation system that is especially
focused on pulmonary segmentectomy using new 3D computed tomography (CT) software …

Background Compared with lobectomy, the anatomical structure of the lung segment is
relatively complex and easy to occur variation, thus it increases the difficulty and risk of …

OBJECTIVES Although wedge resection can be curative for small lung tumours, tumour
marking is sometimes required for resection of non-palpable or visually undetectable lung …
