About
Anatomical variations of pulmonary vessel may cause serious problems during pulmonary segmentectomy. Three-dimensional (3D)computed tomography (CT) presents 3D images of pulmonary vessels and the tracheobronchial tree and may help operative planning. Retrospective studies have identified the importance of 3-dimensional CT in the field of pulmonary segmentectomy. And the aim of this study is to compare the usefulness of 3-dimensional CT with standard chest CT in preoperative planning of video-assisted segmentectomy.
Full description
Lung cancer has been the most serious malignancy around the world which has the highest morbidity and mortality amount all the malignant tumors. Due to the wide spread of lung cancer screening, more and more early stage lung cancer patients have been diagnosed. Video-assisted segmentectomy is a standard surgical procedure in treating early stage peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, anatomical variations of pulmonary vessel may cause serious problems, for example unexpected bleed during surgery. Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT), which is reconstructed based on the standard chest CT image, presents 3D images of pulmonary vessels and the tracheobronchial tree and therefore helps operative planning. There are several retrospective studies addressed the importance of 3-dimensional CT in the field of pulmonary segmentectomy. And the aim of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is to compare the usefulness of 3-dimensional CT and standard chest CT in preoperative planning of video-assisted segmentectomy.
