Objectives: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of a novel simulation software called, virtual segmentectomy.
Methods: We developed the segmentectomy simulation system, which was programmed to analyse the detailed 3D bronchovascular structure and to predict the appropriate segmental surface and surgical margin, based on lung modelling from CT images.
Results: We have attempted this novel technique for 3 cases of pulmonary metastases and 1 case of multiple lung cancer. For validation, the predicted resection margin was compared with the actual resected specimen. The surgical surface, as estimated by the simulation, was compared with the surface of the specimen and a surgical video. To test its feasibility, the operation time, blood loss, durations of chest tube placement and hospitalization as well as pathological findings were assessed.
Conclusions: Preoperative simulation and intraoperative guidance by virtual segmentectomy could contribute significantly to determining the most appropriate anatomical segmentectomy and curative resection.

Objective: We developed a technique to determine deep surgical margins using radiofrequency identification markers. This study assessed the feasibility of this technique during extended segmentectomy of intersegmental lesions.
Methods: A single-center, prospective, single-arm study was performed from 2020 to 2023.

Background And Objective: The early detection and early treatment of high-risk pulmonary nodules directly affect the long-term survival rate of patients. However, conventional nodule localization methods, such as hook-wire, technetium-99m, and methylene blue are associated with issues such as a high-frequency of complications, low patient tolerance, serious side effects, and inability to identify pigmented lungs. For patients who require segmentectomy, there is often a lack of effective path planning, resulting in insufficient resection margins or excessive loss of lung function.

Background: The use of sublobar resection has increased with advances in imaging technologies. However, it is difficult for thoracic surgeons to identify small lung tumours intraoperatively. Radiofrequency identification (RFID) lung-marking systems are useful for overcoming this difficulty; however, accurate placement is essential for maximum effectiveness.

Introduction: Minimally invasive resection of segment VIII is a technically challenging procedure, made even more challenging when the resection is extended to segment IV and/or segment VII. Parenchymal-sparing resections are frequently used in the management of liver metastases but expose to the risk of R1 resection, especially with a minimally invasive approach. Preoperative surgical planning with 3D reconstruction and intraoperative guidance with hepatic vein is helpful for laparoscopic oncological liver resection.

Article Synopsis
- The pilot study aimed to evaluate how 3D printed models of lung anatomy affect surgeons' mental workload and fatigue during thoracoscopic segmentectomy procedures.
- It included 102 patients, with 34 being analyzed after random assignment to either a digital-only group or a digital-plus-3D-printed group; outcomes showed no significant differences in workload between the two.
- Findings indicated that when 3D printed models were available, surgeons consulted the digital model less frequently, yet both groups reported high mental workload on the NASA-TLX scale, emphasizing the challenges faced during surgeries.
