Abstract:
Preoperative planning and perioperative guidance are crucial in anatomical sublobar pulmonary resections. Preoperative virtual reality visualization of the computed tomography scan and intraoperative guidance through a soft-tissue dynamic lung model (simulated reality) can provide better insights into patient-specific anatomy for the surgical team. Using these imaging techniques, we present a right-sided video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery segment 7 resection.
