Article Abstract
Background: Lung segmentectomy has gained much more attention as an important surgical method for treating early-stage lung cancer. However, incomplete fissures increase the difficulty of lung segmentectomy. The aim of this study was to analyze the safety and efficacy of the fissure-first approach in precision resection of lung segments for patients with incomplete fissures.
Methods: The clinical data of patients with incomplete fissures who underwent lung segmentectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Date was divided into fissure-first approach in lung segmentectomy group (group A) and fissure-last approach in lung segmentectomy group (group B). The general linear data, operation times, intraoperative adverse events, postoperative recovery dates and complications were compared.
Results: A total of 122 patients with complete clinical data were included. Patients in group B had more COPD ( < 0.05), and the lesions in group A were more closely related to the hilum of the lung ( < 0.05). Compared to Group B, Group A achieved better surgical outcomes, such as operation time, postoperative hospital stays, intraoperative bleeding, number of intrapulmonary lymph nodes sampled, counts of resected subsegments (except the upper lobe of the right lung), and rate of conversion to thoracotomy (all < 0.05).
Conclusion: The fissure-first approach is a safe and effective surgical approach in lung segmentectomy for patients with incomplete fissures. This approach can reduce the counts of resected subsegments and improve techniques in lung segmentectomy for patients with lung incomplete fissures.

Background: Surgical resection is the cornerstone for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with lobectomy historically standard. Evolving techniques have spurred debate comparing lobectomy and segmentectomy. This study analyzed early postoperative patient-reported symptoms and functional status in patients with early NSCLC undergoing either procedure.

Objective: To evaluate whether results of the JCOG0802/WJOG4607L trial, which demonstrated the superiority of segmentectomy over lobectomy in terms of overall survival for patients with peripheral small-sized lung cancer, are applicable to clinical practice.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective analysis, we categorized patients who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy during the enrollment period of the JCOG0802/WJOG4607L trial into 3 groups: patients enrolled in the trial (Cohort A), patients who were eligible but not enrolled (Cohort B), and ineligible patients (Cohort C). We assessed whether trial participants reflected typical patients seen in clinical practice (representativeness) and whether trial results could be applied in routine practice (generalizability) by comparing patient characteristics and survival between cohorts, using Cohort A as the reference.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as the pioneering approach for the most complex of pulmonary resections, offering high-definition 3D visualization, enhanced instrument augmentation and tremor-free tissue articulation. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform is associated with reduced peri-operative morbidity, shorter hospital admissions and faster patient recovery. However, sublobar resections such as segmentectomies remain anatomically and technically demanding, particularly in the context of resecting multiple segments, as showcased in this right S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as a leading technique for undertaking the most complex pulmonary resections, providing high-definition 3D visualization, advanced instrument control and tremor-free tissue handling. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform offers reduced peri-operative complications, shorter hospital stays and faster patient recovery. Nevertheless, sublobar resections, such as segmentectomies, remain both anatomically intricate and technically challenging, particularly when resecting multiple segments, as in this left S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication following anatomic lung resection, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs. Despite its frequency, there remains limited consensus on optimal pharmacologic management in this population, particularly in the context of balancing efficacy with the unique risks associated with thoracic surgery. This report aims to draw attention to the clinical significance of POAF in thoracic surgery, particularly following pulmonary resections, by presenting a representative case and contextualizing it through a focused review of current literature and consensus guidelines.
