Over time, computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques have been developed, allowing for reconstruction and understanding of lung anatomy in a more intuitive way. The wide adoption of 3D-CT imaging technology has led to a variety of anatomical studies performed not only by anatomists but also by surgeons and radiologists. Such studies have led to new or modified classification systems, shed light on lung anatomy from a useful surgical viewpoint, and enabled us to analyze lung anatomy with a focus on particular anatomical features. 3D images also allow for enhanced pre- and intra-operative simulation, improved surgical safety, enhanced educational utility, and the capacity to perform large-scale anatomical studies in shorter time frames. We will review here the key features of 3D-CT imaging of the lung, along with representative anatomical studies regarding (I) general lung anatomy, (II) anatomy of the right and left lobes, and (III) features of interlobar vessels. The current surge of 3D imaging analysis shows that the field is growing, with the technology continuing to improve. Future studies using these new and innovative methodologies will continue to refine our understanding of lung anatomy while enhancing our ability to perform safe and effective surgical resections.</p>","PeriodicalId":42086,"journal":{"name":"Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/74/2c/nihms-1929752.PMC10501054.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10653940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wee","doi":"10.21037/vats-22-46","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21037/vats-22-46","url":null,"abstract":": Esophagectomy is a key element in the trimodal therapy for esophageal cancer. The advancement in minimally invasive and robotic technique have reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with open esophagectomy while improving the postoperative quality of life without affecting the oncological outcomes. This has reduced operative length of stay and increased the chance of patient receiving adjuvant systemic therapy. Recently, the number of esophagectomies performed minimally invasively have surpassed open esophagectomy. However, implementation of innovative surgical techniques always faces a learning curve that delays its adaptation. Anastomotic leaks can increase during the learning curve for both conventional minimally invasive and robotic assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy. Multiple authors have documented the number of esophagectomies needed to achieve proficiency or overcome the learning curve morbidity. This review focus on complete video assisted approaches (laparoscopic, thoracoscopic and robotic approaches). Utilizing a trans-hiatal or a hybrid approach can be considered minimally invasive by some but it’s outside the scope of this review. Determining the ideal educational program is challenging due to the complexity and variety of required skills in both the abdomen and chest. The absence of a standardized and validated robotic esophagectomy curriculum demonstrates the need for a thoughtful approach to prepare trainee and surgeons to adapt these approaches. Establishing dedicated training centers supervised by surgical and academic societies may help surgeons from lower volume centers adapt these techniques.","PeriodicalId":42086,"journal":{"name":"Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136169856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
