Author Description

The rapid development of three-dimensional computed tomographic images has made it possible to provide more refined individualized anatomic details and has consequently enabled advances in pulmonary subsegmentectomy. Atlas of Thoracoscopic Anatomical Pulmonary Subsegmentectomy provides in-depth, comprehensive overview and guidance on anatomical pulmonary subsegmentectomy, from both theoretical and technical perspectives. The book is divided in two parts: Part I is dedicated to theoretical background of surgery, including surgical subsegmental anatomy, CT three-dimensional reconstruction of pulmonary structures, surgical techniques, and perioperative patient management. Part II presents more than 40 kinds of subsegmentectomies of the left and right lungs, both upper and lower lobes. This book is a valuable resource to thoracic surgeons and physicians interested in thoracic surgery and mini-invasive surgical approaches in the thorax. Features complete coverage of all aspects of thoracoscopic anatomical pulmonary subsegmentectomy, from theory to practice Presents more than 40 kinds of subsegmentectomies of the left and right lungs, both upper and lower lobes Includes videos of 3D models and operations
