In routine clinical practice, lobectomy and segmentectomy are associated with improved overall and lung cancer-specific survival compared with wedge resection for stage IA NSCLC (≤2 cm).

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, ...

Can Segmentectomy Still Be Proposed As an Alternative to Lobectomy in 2016? The following represents disclosure information provided by authors of this manuscript. All relationships are considered ...

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.

Although anatomic segmentectomy has been considered a compromised procedure by many surgeons, recent retrospective, single-institution series have demonstrated tumor recurrence and patient survival ...

TUESDAY, Jan. 28, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- For patients with stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), lung resections, including lobectomy and segmentectomy, are associated with improved long ...

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

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 ...
