Three-dimensional reconstruction facilitates thoracoscopic anatomical partial lobectomy by an inexperienced surgeon: a single-institution retrospective review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of three-dimensional (3D) interactive quantitative surgical planning on the outcome of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) anatomical partial lobectomy (APL), and to investigate the learning curve of 3D reconstruction-assisted VATS APL assisted.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 156 cases of solitary pulmonary ground-glass opacity (GGO) lesions in patients who underwent 3D interactive quantitative VATS APL. Digital imaging and communications in medicine data were recorded for each patient. We used Materialise 3-Matic software to make 3D reconstructed images. All surgeries were performed by the same thoracic surgeon at the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department of Yichang Central People's Hospital between February 28, 20
