This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated whether three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and virtual simulation improve outcomes in thoracoscopic segmentectomy. Ten studies (n=1,424; 772 3D vs 652 non-3D) were included. Overall, 3D-assisted planning significantly reduced inadequate surgical margins (OR 0.09, p=0.006) and postoperative complications (OR 0.53, p
