Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Binocular stereo-navigation accurately identifies bronchovascular structures for three-dimensional (3-D) thoracoscopic sublobar resection (TSLR). This advanced technique is suitable for resecting small pulmonary tumors with adequate margins.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Navigation
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Investigating the efficacy of binocular stereo-navigation in three-dimensional (3-D) thoracoscopic sublobar resection (TSLR).
  • Utilizing virtual 3-D pulmonary models for preoperative simulation and intraoperative guidance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of binocular stereo-navigation for TSLR.
  • To assess the accuracy of identifying bronchovascular structures and tumor margins during minimally invasive lung surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Reconstruction of 3-D pulmonary models from high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans using custom software (CTTRY).
  • Manual marking of pulmonary arteries, veins, bronchi, and tumors on HRCT images.
  • Visualization of 3-D models on a stereoscopic display for surgeons wearing 3-D glasses during TSLR.

Main Results:

  • Ten patients (5 men, 5 women; age 65-84) underwent TSLR for lung cancer or metastatic tumors.
  • Procedures included segmentectomies and bi-segmentectomies with or without lymphadenectomy.
  • No intraoperative complications or conversions to open surgery; two patients experienced prolonged air leak postoperatively.

Conclusions:

  • Binocular stereo-navigation enables accurate identification of bronchovascular structures.
  • The technique is suitable for performing TSLR with sufficient margins for small pulmonary tumors.
