Segmental lung resection is a surgical procedure primarily used for patients who cannot tolerate a full lobectomy due to limited pulmonary reserve or comorbid conditions. This technique involves the removal of one or more anatomical segments of the lung, preserving more lung tissue compared to lobectomy. This procedure is indicated for early-stage non–small cell lung cancer and other localized pulmonary diseases. The procedure can be performed using minimally invasive approaches such as video-assisted thoracoscopic and robotic-assisted surgical techniques, reducing recovery time and complications. The success of the surgery relies on precise dissection and resection of the targeted segments, ensuring clear margins and minimal impact on the remaining lung function.Clinicians participating in this course gain a comprehensive understanding of the indications, techniques, and outcomes associated with segmental lung resection. Participants also learn about managing potential complications and postoperative care, ensuring they are well-prepared to provide high-quality, patient-centered care to individuals undergoing segmental lung resection. Additionally, the course emphasizes the importance of interprofessional communication and care coordination, enabling clinicians to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team to optimize patient outcomes.
