Core Tip

Core Tip: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery segmentectomy and lobectomy assisted by three-dimensional computed-tomography bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) on 123 patients. Using this method, surgeons can accurately identify and label targeted structures on the 3D-CTBA video and design meticulously to perform minimal unit resection with sufficient surgical margin.
