Functional Preserving Sublobectomy: A Novel Method for Sublobectomy

Abstract

We introduce a new method for sublobectomy. It utilizes the easiness and rapidity of wedge resection, and the accuracy and functional preserving of anatomical segmentectomy. It can preserve lung function with less sacrifice of lung parenchyma.
