Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery has become increasingly utilized in recent years. Complex lung cancer resection surgery can be performed using a robotic approach. It facilitates 3-dimentional visualization of structures, enhanced manipulation of tissues and precise movements.

Purpose: In this feasibility study, we aimed to create a dedicated pulmonary augmented reality (AR) workflow to enable a semi-automated intraoperative overlay of the pulmonary anatomy during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS).
Methods: Initially, the stereoscopic cameras were calibrated to obtain the intrinsic camera parameters. Intraoperatively, stereoscopic images were recorded and a 3D point cloud was generated from these images.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The introduction of targeted treatments and immunotherapy in lung cancer has transformed patient care by offering "precision medicine" focused on the characteristics of the disease. The same concept has emerged in lung cancer surgery.

Sublobar resection offers a parenchymal-sparing surgical alternative to lobectomy and includes wedge resection and segmentectomy. Sublobar resection has been historically utilized in high-risk patients with compromised lung function; however, the technique is becoming more prevalent for normal-risk patients with peripheral lung tumors < 2 cm. In this article, we summarize the technique of sublobar resection, the importance of surgical margins and lymph node sampling, patient selection, perioperative complications, outcomes, and the impact of sublobar resection on the quality of life.

Purpose: This study examined the learning curve of segmentectomy using the "fused surgery" approach.
Methods: We retrospectively collected data from 100 patients who underwent segmentectomy via fused robot-assisted thoracoscopy at our institution between September 2020 and February 2024. The learning curve was evaluated using the cumulative sum of the operative times in all cases and was analyzed separately for simple and complex segmentectomies.
