Application progress of 3D-CTBA technique in precise segmentatomy / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

With the popularization of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scanning, the rate of the diagnosis of primary lung cancer for early-stage non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is increasing, mainly because of a growing rate of solitary pulmonary nodule and ground-glass nodule. For these patients, recent studies have shown that segmentectomy and lobectomy have similar oncologic effects, while they can retain more lung function and improve the quality of life, so anatomical segmental resection is an alternative operation. In recent years, the three-dimensional reconstruction technology based on medical imaging has developed rapidly, which can be used to understand the anatomical structure, nodule position, spatial relationship, design of surgical path and other advantages in preoperative, and plays an important role in the thoracoscopic anatomical segmental resection with complex anatomical structure and individual differences. This paper reviews the application of three-dimensional reconstruction technology in segmental lung resection, and briefly introduces the application of this technology in precise segmental lung resection.
