Summary: This study compared stapled segmentectomy (SS) and non-stapled segmentectomy (NSS) techniques in terms of perioperative outcomes, lung volume preservation, and postoperative lung function, finding that lung volume preservation was not significantly influenced by different segmentectomy techniques. Surgeons should consider individual patient characteristics when choosing a segmentectomy technique.

Summary: The study found that consolidation tumor ratio (CTR) is an independent prognostic factor for clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma, and can divide patients into different subgroups with different prognoses.

Summary: This study assessed the accuracy and safety of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB)-guided localization using methylene blue for multi-focal ground-glass opacities (GGOs). The results showed that ENB-guided methylene blue injection is a safe and precise method for treating multi-focal GGOs, potentially reducing operation time and simplifying lesion detection.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the short-term outcomes between RAS and VAS for small pulmonary nodules. The results showed that RAS had shorter operative time, shorter postoperative hospital stay, less blood loss, and less use of strong opioids compared to VAS, but it was more costly.

Summary: This study compared robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer. RATS took longer but had less bleeding than VATS. The two surgeries had similar outcomes in terms of complications, hospital stay, readmissions, and deaths. Further research is needed to determine the benefits of one surgical approach over the other.

Summary: The study compared operative and postoperative outcomes of simple segmentectomy and wedge resection in NSCLC patients with GGO diameter between 2 cm and 3 cm. The results showed that simple segmentectomy group had more complications, longer operative time, and slower postoperative pulmonary function recovery compared to wedge resection group, but there was no difference in recurrence free survival and overall survival between the two groups.

Summary: The study found that IL-6 plays an important role in the tumor microenvironment of early lung adenocarcinoma, and there may be a correlation between its changes and NK cells. The experimental results confirmed this connection, which helps to understand the pathogenesis of early lung cancer.

Summary: The study assessed the prognostic significance of preoperative NPS in VATS lobectomy patients and found a significant association between NPS and unfavorable OS and DFS of NSCLC. NPS demonstrated the best discriminatory power for predicting both OS and DFS, and remained validated after PSM analysis, indicating that it could serve as an independent prognostic indicator for both outcomes.

Summary: This study compares the outcomes of patients with GGO-dominant NSCLC treated with CIRT and segmentectomy. The results show that patients in the CIRT group are older, more likely to be male, and have lower forced vital capacity compared to the segmentectomy group. There is a significant difference in the 5-year overall survival rate, but not in the 5-year disease-specific survival rate.

Summary: The VAME group showed superior outcomes in terms of operation time, number of dissected lymph nodes, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of pneumonia, and length of hospital stay compared to the VATE group. Chyle leak incidence appeared to be lower in the VAME group, but further studies are needed to confirm its significance.

Summary: This study aims to compare the surgical outcomes and treatment results of minimally invasive segmentectomy and lobectomy for early-stage lung adenocarcinoma patients. A total of 1024 patients will be randomly assigned to either the segmentectomy or lobectomy group, collected from 19 hospitals in China. The results of this study will help determine the optimal surgical approach.

Summary: The study compared the feasibility and safety of uniportal thoracoscopic segmentectomy (UTS) with multiportal thoracoscopic segmentectomy (MTS). Results showed UTS as a feasible and safe surgical technique, with minor differences between UTS and MTS in both simple and complex segmentectomy groups, which were clinically irrelevant.

Summary: This study compared the short-term postoperative outcomes of segmentectomy and lobectomy for patients with clinical stage 0/IA lung cancer. After adjusting for background factors and the extent of lymphadenectomy, the segmentectomy group had lower overall complication rate, cardiopulmonary complication rate, and incidence of prolonged air leak compared to the lobectomy group.

Summary: In this retrospective study, the cost and effectiveness of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and microwave ablation (MWA) for patients with ground-glass nodules (GGNs) were evaluated. The results showed that MWA had similar survival rates as VATS but with significantly lower cost and shorter hospital stay.

Summary: Segmentectomy for early-stage lung cancer has benefits for survival and parenchymal preservation. This study reviewed the quality of segmentectomies and their clinical impact. Anatomical segmentectomy resulted in better survival and a lower incidence of thick lung plication, even in ground-glass opacity-dominant tumors.
