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

For decades, lobectomy has been the recommended surgical procedure for non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC), including for small-sized lesions. However, two recent pivotal clinical …

Objective Thoracoscopic anatomic single or combined basal segmentectomy is technically
challenging because of the variation and deep location of vessels and bronchi in the …

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

Introduction We aimed to determine the feasibility of segmentectomy for radiologically solid-
dominant clinical stage IA lung cancer measuring 2.1 to 3 cm (whole tumor size). Patients …

Introduction Pulmonary segmentectomy, when combined with hilar and mediastinal
lymphadenectomy, is currently considered the gold standard treatment for early-stage lung …

Abstract Introduction The JCOG0802/WJOG4607L trial revealed superior overall survival in
segmentectomy compared with lobectomy for small-peripheral NSCLC. Nevertheless …

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare cancer control after segmentectomy and
lobectomy in patients with radiologically pure-solid clinical stage IA3 non-small-cell lung …

Background This study sought to clarify the extent of segmentectomy that achieves greater
lung preservation than lobectomy. Methods This was a single-center retrospective cohort …

Background The efficacy of segmentectomy for inner small-sized non-small-cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) remains unknown. We aimed to elucidate whether segmentectomy for inner small …
