Video Atlas of VATS Segmentectomy

The Video Atlas of VATS Segmentectomy is a reference multimedia book for Thoracic Surgeons.The book features over 70 videos, presenting tailor-made operations according to each patient's anatomy, enabling readers to visually grasp the technique.It also introduces more precise and less invasive techniques using the vein first strategy that minimizes morphological changes to the original structures. This book presents the history, tips and knacks of lung segmentectomy, use of 3D-CT in general theory and various segmentectomy procedures, including typical, atypical, and advanced complex VATS segmentectomies.It also explains how to perform a precise thoracoscopic VATS segmentectomy.Single port and robotic segmentectomy are also covered. Advances in thoracoscopic surgery have made it possible to perform lung segmentectomy, which was previously difficult.The authors are pioneers in thoracoscopic surgery using 3D-CT and have developed advanced lung segmentectomy techniques based on accurate anatomical structures on CT and 3D-CT images.They have also developed novel operations from different angles, taking advantage of the thoracoscopic approach.The book will be a useful reference for thoracic surgeons and surgeons in general.
