This video demonstrates a uniportal VATS right segmentectomy from S7 to S10 with indocyanine green imaging.

Sleeve lobectomy is preferred to pneumonectomy for centrally located lung tumors. To report on surgical outcomes of this procedure, The European Society of Thoracic Surgeons database was searched between 2007 and 2021.
February 3, 2023
Since time to surgery for lung cancer is not well established, researchers aimed to assess whether time to surgery from diagnosis correlates with outcomes like unplanned return to care, mortality, and disease recurrence.

This video demonstrates a right S9+S10 VATS segmentectomy through an original butterfly inferior approach, from surgical flight simulation to day-surgery.
January 9, 2023
This video demonstrates a total robotic right pneumonectomy.
January 6, 2023
The FDA has approved the drug Cytalux for use in lung surgery. The drug, also known as pafolacianine, binds to lung cancer cells to make them glow under infrared light.
January 4, 2023
With the recent publication of two large, multicenter, randomized trials showing equivalent or even improved survival for segmental versus lobar resection of small (≤2 cm) stage I non-small cell lung cancer (1,2), there is greater onus among thoracic surgeons to be able to perform anatomic segmentectomy.
January 2, 2023
This video demonstrates one case in the increase of typical and atypical lung segmentectomies following the implementation and adoption of robotic platforms.

This is a video of the very first lobectomy performed with the Versius system on the American continent.
