Pulmonary lobectomy has been historically the gold standard oncologic resection for early
stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Pulmonary segmentectomy has gained …

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 …

(15, 16). Furthermore, segmentectomy has been reported to achieve higher lymph node
dissection yield and higher nodal upstaging rates when compared to wedge resection in …

Introduction Minimally invasive approaches to lung resection have become widely
acceptable and more recently, segmentectomy has demonstrated equivalent oncologic …

Background Recently, segmentectomy has emerged as a viable treatment option for early-
stage lung cancer. Segmentectomy can be divided into simple segmentectomy and complex …

Lobectomies have long been the gold standard for surgical treatment of early-stage non-
small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with segmentectomies limited to instances of benign …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have discouraged limited pulmonary resection for primary
lung cancer, but pulmonary segmentectomy has advantages for some patients. Furthermore …

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 …
