Main description:

The Video-Atlas of Pulmonary Sublobar Resections aims to be a reference multimedia book for Thoracic Surgeons. Mainly focused on operative technical aspects, each individual segmentectomy and many combinations are described. Each chapter opens with anatomical 3D reconstructions of the segment and its bronchoscopic anatomy. Then, the main steps for performing the procedure, that are illustrated in high-definition (HD) video-clips and figures, are described. Expert authors highlight specifical tips & tricks for succesfully performing the resection, and include anatomical variations that also illustrate with HD video-clips.

This illustrated guide provides thoracic surgeons with an incredibly useful tool for learning and improving their technique in sublobar resections.
