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 …

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

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 used to resect lung nodules. Robotic‐assisted
thoracic surgery (RATS) is considered a safe and practical method for segmentectomy. Few …

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

Lobectomy has long been considered the standard procedure for early-stage lung cancer,
and minimally invasive techniques have been demonstrated to be associated with superior …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: As thoracoscopic lobectomy becomes widely applied for treatment of non–
small cell lung cancer, thoracoscopic segmentectomy remains controversial for patients with …

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 …
