Abstract:
We describe the benefits of a three-dimensional multidetector computed tomography angiography and the bronchography-guided segmentectomy technique. Preoperative determination of the anatomical intersegmental plane is possible by visualizing the segmental branches of the pulmonary veins and segmental bronchi. This new technique may be useful in segmentectomy of the lung.

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...
