Atlas of Endoscopic Major Pulmonary Resections

The purpose of this atlas is to provide a step by- step approach to most thoracoscopic pulmonary resections according to the full endoscopic technique, which was developed at our institution. Even though some readers may prefer another technique, it is hoped that the detailed technical description and the tips and tricks reported in this book will be helpful. With respect to thoracoscopic sublobar resections, the interest is rising and segmentectomies are being rediscovered. On the basis of an experience of 390 thoracoscopic sublobar resections at the time of writing this atlas, we describe the most commonly performed anatomical segmentectomies.
