Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to verify if performance in the 6-min walking test (6MWT) during the preoperative evaluation phase is associated with the development of cardiopulmonary postoperative complications in patients who underwent uniportal VATS (U-VATS) for lung cancer.

Methods: This retrospective, monocentric study included patients submitted to U-VATS anatomical lung resections (March 2022-December 2023). The patients were enrolled in a preoperative rehabilitation program carried out 15 days before surgery.

The plane running between two adjacent pulmonary segments consists of a very thin layer of connective tissue through which the pulmonary vein also runs. To perform an anatomically correct segmentectomy, this segmental plane needs to be divided. Before the operation, the locations of vessels and bronchi are confirmed by three-dimensional computed tomography.

We present a case of robot-assisted complex anatomical segmentectomy utilizing Resection Process Map (RPM) software. RPM enables the confirmation of internal structures obscured by lung parenchyma, thereby reducing the risk of injury or misidentification to essential structures. It facilitates an accurate understanding of anatomy beyond processed vessels, fostering collaboration among the surgical team and informed discussions.
