Simple Summary Due to the increasing incidence of early-stage lung cancer and the
demand for less invasive surgeries, sublobar resections are rapidly increasing in the field of …

Simple Summary Lung cancer is the leading cause of death and the second most prevalent
cancer worldwide. Recent improvements in radiological technologies enable the early …

The development of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has promoted three
dimensional (3D) images of lung structures. It is possible to see the vascular and bronchial …

Objective: Interactive three-dimensional virtual models of pulmonary structures (3D-CT) may
improve the safety and accuracy of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS). The aim of this …

Background There has been an increasing trend toward pulmonary segmentectomies to
treat early-stage lung cancer, small intrapulmonary metastases, and localized benign …

Background Considering the complexity of vascular or bronchial variations and the difficulty
of nodule localization during segmental resection, the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction …

Although video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become widely used as a less
invasive therapeutic procedure for lung cancer, precise anatomical knowledge of each case …

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

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 …

Abstract Background Three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) reconstruction
technology has gained attention owing to its potential in locating ground glass nodules in …
