Segmentectomies Made Easy Series: Robotic-Assisted Left S3 Segmentectomy

Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery provides significant advantages for complex pulmonary resections such as high-definition 3D visualization and enhanced precision, resulting in reduced morbidity and quicker recovery compared to open thoracotomy. Although sublobar resections such as segmentectomies are technically challenging due to anatomical variations, the introduction of 3D reconstruction imaging facilitates tailored surgical planning. This video tutorial showcases a robotic left segmentectomy for a metastatic pulmonary lesion, highlighting how 3D imaging aids in surgical accuracy and decision-making.
