Summary

Thoracoscopic S9-10 segmentectomy is challenging due to complex anatomy. Indocyanine green fluorescence navigation enhances stapler-based division of intersegmental planes, improving surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

Thoracic surgery
Surgical oncology
Minimally invasive procedures

Background:

Thoracoscopic segmentectomy, particularly for segments S9-10, presents significant surgical challenges.
Difficulty in dissecting intersegmental planes and visualizing peripheral pulmonary anatomy complicates standard procedures.

Observation:

The intersegmental plane between segments S6 and S8 obstructs the clear division of planes for S9-10 segmentectomy.
Standard stapling techniques are hampered by poor visualization of peripheral pulmonary structures.

Findings:

A novel technique for stapler-based thoracoscopic S9-10 segmentectomy utilizing indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation is detailed.
ICG fluorescence provides enhanced visualization, facilitating precise division of challenging intersegmental planes.
