Summary

Stapling intersegmental planes during pulmonary segmentectomy preserves lung volume and function similarly to electrocautery. This study found no significant difference in outcomes between the two methods for preserving lung function.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Pulmonary function testing
  • Surgical techniques

Background:

  • Pulmonary segmentectomy involves dividing intersegmental planes.
  • Stapler use for division can lead to remnant segment volume loss.
  • Understanding the impact of division methods on lung volume and function is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the influence of segment division methods (stapler vs. electrocautery) on preserved lung volume after pulmonary segmentectomy.
  • To evaluate the impact of these division methods on postoperative pulmonary function.

Main Methods:

  • Computed tomography (CT) imaging and analysis software were used.
  • Ratios of remnant segment (R-seg) and ipsilateral lung (R-ips) volumes to preoperative values were calculated.
  • Ratios of postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) to predicted values (R-FEV1, R-FVC) were determined.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in preserved lung volume (R-seg, R-ips) or pulmonary function (R-FEV1, R-FVC) was found between stapler and electrocautery methods.
  • Postoperative pulmonary function (R-FEV1, R-FVC) correlated with ipsilateral lung volume (R-ips), not remnant segment volume (R-seg).

Conclusions:

  • Stapling intersegmental planes during pulmonary segmentectomy does not result in less preserved lung volume or function compared to electrocautery.
  • The choice of division method does not appear to significantly impact functional outcomes.
