Purpose: The underlying mechanism why segmentectomy has demonstrated the non-inferiority to lobectomy in several randomized trials remains unclear. Computed tomography (CT)-measured pulmonary artery (PA) enlargement reflects PA pressure and predicts the prognosis of certain respiratory diseases. We compared the preoperative and postoperative PA diameter to the ascending aorta diameter (PA/A) ratio, investigating its impact on right ventricular function in lung resection.

Background: Some surgeons routinely divide the inferior pulmonary ligament (IPL) during upper lobectomy. Nevertheless, the evidence remains inconclusive regarding whether dividing the IPL improves the postoperative pulmonary. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effects of inferior pulmonary ligament division (IPLD) during upper lobectomy.

Background: Previous retrospective studies demonstrated both one-stage and two-stage video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for bilateral pulmonary nodules were safe and feasible in selected patients. However, prospective data is still lacking. The purpose of this trial is to prospectively compare the prognostic and perioperative outcomes between one-stage and two-stage VATS for synchronous bilateral pulmonary nodules.

In early-stage lung cancer, lung function appears to be less compromised after segmentectomy than lobectomy, though the advantage seems modest. We aimed to re-assess postoperative lung function in surgical patients, with a particular focus on the diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DL). We evaluated all patients who underwent either lobectomy or segmentectomy for T1a-c lung cancer at our center between March 2016 and March 2023.

Background: Lymph node upstaging represents a quality criterion for standardized lymphadenectomy in lung cancer surgery. The aim of the study was to compare whether the quality of standardized lymphadenectomy in lung cancer surgery is comparable in minimally invasive (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) and the open approach (thoracotomy). Furthermore, factors associated with lymph node upstaging were assessed, as was its impact on overall survival and progression-free survival.
