Body Planes

28.8K
Body planes in anatomy are imaginary flat surfaces used as reference points to divide the body into sections for anatomical study. These planes are essential for understanding the orientation, relationships, and spatial organization of anatomical structures.
The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body resulting in equal division, it is called the midsagittal or median...

Summary

Pulmonary segmentectomy techniques for managing intersegmental planes vary. Preoperative planning and intraoperative strategies like 3D-CTBA and fluorescence mapping aid identification, while staplers or energy devices are used for treatment, with surgeon preference guiding choices.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pulmonary Medicine

Background:

  • Pulmonary segmentectomy is a common thoracic surgery, aiming to preserve lung function.
  • Challenges include managing air leaks, palpating ground-glass nodules, and defining intersegmental planes.
  • Various preoperative and intraoperative techniques exist to address these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review preoperative planning and intraoperative strategies for identifying and treating intersegmental planes during pulmonary segmentectomy.
  • To compare the effectiveness and limitations of different techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of preoperative tools: 3D-CTBA, VAL-MAP (bronchoscopy dye marking + 3D-CT).
  • Review of intraoperative strategies: Inflation-deflation, ICG-enhanced fluorescence (infrared/NIF).
  • Comparison of treatment methods: Staplers vs. electrocautery/energy devices for intersegmental plane management.

Main Results:

  • Preoperative mapping (3D-CTBA, VAL-MAP) aids surgical planning.
  • Intraoperative identification methods include fluorescence-enhanced techniques with ICG.
  • Staplers offer faster closure but may compromise lung volume; energy devices allow precise dissection but can be time-consuming and require leak management.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple methods exist for identifying and treating intersegmental planes in segmentectomy.
  • No single technique shows significant superiority; choice depends on surgeon preference and segmental location.
  • Balancing oncological margins, lung function preservation, and technical ease is key.
