Objective: Lung segmentectomy using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is an effective strategy to treat early-stage lung cancer. The objective of this case report is to show the efficacy of Hyper Accuracy 3D™ (HA3D) reconstruction as a tool for trainee surgeons and expert surgeons to perform complex procedures.
Methods: An 84-year-old man was treated for colon-rectal cancer. During follow-up, a pulmonary nodule on the right anterior upper lobe suspected for intestinal metastasis was revealed by a computed tomography scan. According to functional tests and radiology, a right anterior upper lobe segmentectomy was planned. HA3D lung reconstruction was used during surgery.
Results: Using the HA3D virtual model, the procedure was performed with healthy tissue sparing, ensuring safe resection margins. No postoperative morbidities were noted. The patient referred good pain control. The hospital stay was 6 days.
Conclusions: VATS segmentectomy is a technically demanding procedure. HA3D lung reconstruction can help surgeons effectively perform the resection, aiding at individuating intersegmental planes, bronchi, and vessels, guaranteeing oncologic radicality and safe surgical margins, and preserving respiratory function.

Background And Aims: Primary lung tumors (PLTs) in children are rare, and surgery remains the key to ensure remission. Here we describe the PLTs clinical characteristics, their management, and the pulmonary outcome following surgery.
Methods: We carried out a French national cohort of pediatric PLTs from 2013 to 2023 from the FRACTURE rare pediatric tumors national database.

Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung issue where abnormal lung tissue is supplied by a wrong artery, most commonly seen in the intralobar form.
- Patients often experience symptoms like recurrent coughing up blood and lung infections.
- Surgical treatment involves carefully removing the affected tissue while protecting healthy lung, with techniques to minimize the risk of bleeding from the abnormal arteries during the procedure.
Outcome of anatomical versus non-anatomical lung resection for necrotizing pneumonia in children.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the characteristics, complications and outcomes of necrotizing pneumonia (NP) requiring surgical intervention.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of all children who underwent surgical therapy for NP from January 2010 to December 2023. Patients were analyzed based on two surgical approaches: anatomic resection (AR) or non-AR (NAR).

Background: The detection of tumor localization is difficult in robotic surgery because surgeons have no sense of touch and rely on visual information. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative CT-guided dye marking of lung nodules prior to robotic surgery.
Methods: Patients undergoing CT-guided dye marking prior to robotic surgery at our hospital between September 2019 and April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.
Propensity matching analysis of left upper tri-segmentectomy versus lobectomy for stage I non-small cell lung cancer.
World J Surg Oncol

Department of Thoracic Surgery, West China hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: The equivalence between left upper lobectomy (LUL) and left upper tri-segmentectomy (LUTS) for stage I left upper non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. This study compares the perioperative and oncological outcomes of LUL and LUTS in this patient population.
Methods: This study included patients who underwent LUL or LUTS at West China Hospital of Sichuan University and Sichuan ShangJin Hospital between August 2018 and November 2023.
