OBJECTIVES The role of segmentectomy in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) remains a matter of debate. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the …

The use of the white-light thoracoscopy is hampered by the low contrast between oncologic
margins and surrounding normal parenchyma. As a result, many patients with in situ or …

Background Compared to lobectomy by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS),
segmentectomy by VATS has a potential higher risk of postoperative atelectasis and air …

Objectives Anatomical segmentectomy via robotic thoracic surgery and video-assisted
thoracic surgery (VATS) are minimally invasive surgical approaches for treatment of early …

Objective Segmentectomy is widely performed for early-stage lung cancer. However, the
effects of segmentectomy versus lobectomy on pulmonary function remain unclear. We …

Background Thoracoscopic segmentectomy is increasingly used in the surgical treatment of
early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. However, it remains unclear whether pulmonary …

Background Clinical decision-making for patients with stage I lung cancer is complex. It
involves multiple options (lobectomy, segmentectomy, wedge, stereotactic body …

OBJECTIVES To demonstrate the differences in clinical outcomes between lobectomy and
segmentectomy for non-small cell lung cancer using propensity score matching. METHODS …

Background Prognosis beyond 5 years after segmentectomy for non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) has not been well studied. Methods This study is a retrospective analysis of a …

Background Pulmonary surgery is an innovative discipline with increasing demands for
minimally invasive techniques in complicated anatomical resections, warranting adequate …
