Electrocautery can be used in segmentectomy to divide the lung along a line called the intersegmental plane to remove as much of the cancer as accurately as possible.

In routine practice, unadjusted 10-year overall survival (OS) for lobectomy reached 44.8%, while for segmentectomy it was 44.2%, and for wedge resection 41.4%, according to Christopher Seder, MD ...

And so, for segmentectomy, that turns out to be a lot more important. Q: Got it. And are there certain patient populations, stages and disease types, for whom this is a more viable option? A: I mean, ...

Among patients with stage IA non-small cell lung cancer, long-term survival was better with lobectomy or segmentectomy vs. wedge resection, according to results presented at the Society of ...

Background: Positional indications for sublobar resection have been increasingly focused by clinical surgeons while the surgical strategies for cases involving inter-multisegmental veins ...

A comparison of laparoscopic versus open left lateral segmentectomy of the liver found similar morbidity rates for both procedures and a reduced postoperative opiate need in laparoscopic patients.

Anatomic segmentectomy has survival and recurrence outcomes similar to lobectomy, with reduced perioperative mortality.
