Three-dimensional computed tomography angiography and bronchography combined with three-dimensional printing for thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy in stage IA non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Compared with lobectomy, the anatomical structure of the lung segment is relatively complex and easy to occur variation, thus it increases the difficulty and risk of precise segmentectomy. The application of three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) combined with a three-dimensional printing (3D printing) model can ensure the safety of operation and simplify the surgical procedure to a certain extent. We aimed to estimate the value of 3D-CTBA and 3D printing in thoracoscopic precise pulmonary segmentectomy.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 65 patients who underwent anatomical segmentectomy at the Affiliated Hospital of Shaoxing University from January 2019 to August 2020. The patients were divided into tw
