Atlas of Endoscopic Major Pulmonary Resections

The purpose of this atlas is to provide a step by-
step approach to most thoracoscopic
pulmonary resections according to the full
endoscopic technique, which was developed
at our institution. Even though some
readers may prefer another technique, it is
hoped that the detailed technical description
and the tips and tricks reported in this
book will be helpful. With respect to thoracoscopic
sublobar resections, the interest is
rising and segmentectomies are being rediscovered.
On the basis of an experience of
390 thoracoscopic sublobar resections at
the time of writing this atlas, we describe
the most commonly performed anatomical
segmentectomies.
