Abstract: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic (RATS) segmentectomy is becoming increasingly common because of the expanded indications for segmentectomy and the widespread adoption of robotic surgery. The precise division of the intersegmental plane is necessary to ensure oncologic margins… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0328362
Abstract: Background Indocyanine green (ICG) intravenous administration (ICG-iv) has been described for detecting the intersegmental plane in lung segmentectomy. However, errors with preoperative planning and accuracy comparisons with alternative methodologies have not been fully validated. Methods… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.948878
Abstract: Segmentectomy has played a crucial role in the treatment of early-stage lung cancer after the publication of JCOG0802, which indicated that patients with small-sized peripheral non-small-cell lung cancer could receive better survival from segmentectomy than… read more here.
