Three-Dimensional Interactive Quantitative Surgical Planning with Complete Thoracoscopic Lateral Basal Segmentectomy

Abstract

Objectives: Thoracoscopic segmentectomy for the lateral basal segment (S9) is one of the most technically challenging anatomical segmentectomy. This study aimed to describe thoracoscopic segmentectomy of S9 or S9b using three-dimensional (3D) interactive quantitative surgical planning through inferior pulmonary ligament approach.
