Article Abstract
Background: Surgical treatment is crucial in managing bronchiectasis. Segmentectomy, although a complex procedure, has become more feasible with advancements in thin-slice CT and three-dimensional imaging. These technologies enhance preoperative anatomical understanding and surgical planning. This study aims to demonstrate the viability of using three-dimensional imaging assistance for treating localized bronchiectasis through segmentectomy.
Methods: From 2021 to 2023, a total of 34 patients with bronchiectasis underwent segmentectomy. We collected and then analyzed potential factors including general conditions, preoperative clinical symptoms, surgical procedures, length of postoperative hospital stay, incidence of postoperative complications and postoperative follow-ups.
Results: Of the 34 surgical patients, 8 were men and 26 were women, resulting in a total of 34 operations. The average surgical time for segmentectomy was 157.7 ± 63.4 min. The average intraoperative blood loss was 115.9 ± 107.4 ml. Postoperative tube placement lasted an average of 6.5 ± 2.4 days, with an average drainage volume of 724.7 ± 500.9 ml. The average hospital stay was 8.2 ± 3.4 days. Among these patients, 2 developed pneumothorax and 2 experienced air leaks. Additionally, 4 patients developed pneumonia postoperatively. Over an average follow-up period of 14.3 months, most patients showed symptom improvement, with only two cases of recurrence.
Conclusions: Segmentectomy has acceptable postoperative morbidity, mortality, and outcomes. Therefore, segmentectomy is a viable option for the treatment of localized bronchiectasis.

Segmentectomies Made Easy series: robotic-assisted right S1 and S2 segmentectomy.
Multimed Man Cardiothorac Surg

Department of Thoracic Surgery, New Cross Hospital, Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, Wolverhampton, UK
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.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic performance of a nomogram integrating clinical parameters with deep learning radiomics (DLRN) features derived from ultrasound and multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting survival, recurrence, and metastasis in patients diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study included 103 patients with histopathologically confirmed TNBC across four institutions. The training group comprised 72 cases from the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang, while the validation group included 31 cases from three external centers.
