Overview

This book provides evidence-based guidance on thoracoscopic anatomical pulmonary subsegmentectomy, equipping surgeons to perform all the latest procedures and get the best outcomes. The rapid development of three-dimensional computed tomographic images has made it possible to provide more refined individualized anatomic details and has consequently enabled advances in pulmonary subsegmentectomy. Atlas of Thoracoscopic Anatomical Pulmonary Subsegmentectomy provides an in-depth comprehensive overview and guidance on anatomical pulmonary subsegmentectomy from both theoretical and technical perspectives. The book is divided into two parts: Part I is dedicated to the theoretical background of surgery including surgical subsegmental anatomy, CT three-dimensional reconstruction of pulmonary structures, surgical techniques, and perioperative patient management. Part II presents more than 40 kinds of subsegmentectomies of the left and right lungs, both upper and lower lobes. This book is a valuable resource to thoracic surgeons and physicians interested in thoracic surgery and mini-invasive surgical approaches.
