Preoperative Three-Dimensional Lung Simulation Before Thoracoscopic Anatomical Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Whether the utilization of preoperative three-dimensional (3D) lung simulation can improve the outcomes of segmentectomy for lung cancer (LC) is still controversial. Our meta-analysis was performed to compare preoperative 3D lung simulation with non-3D procedures in terms of perioperative outcomes.

Methods

Seven databases (Embase, Ovid Medline, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus) were searched for eligible articles. Intraoperative outcomes (conversion, operative time, etc.), postoperative indicators (postoperative hospital stay, total number of complications, etc.) and postoperative complications were endpoints.

Results

After applying predefined inclusion criteria, we included 8 studies and 989 patients (3D group: 552 patien
