Evaluation of surgical approaches to anatomical segmentectomies: the transition to minimal invasive surgery improves hospital outcomes

Anatomical segmentectomy is considered a reasonable option in the management of lung nodules, especially in patients with reduced preoperative respiratory reserve or when diagnostic doubt persists. Despite requiring more technical precision and anatomical awareness in comparison to other resection types, segmentectomy can result in reduced post-operative complications (1,2) whilst preserving equivalent oncological outcomes (3,4)
