OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of early chest tube removal after anatomic pulmonary resection, regardless of the drainage volume.
In a recent study, the effectiveness of GPT-4 Omni in transforming lobectomy surgical records into structured data across multiple languages was explored. The aim was to improve both efficiency and accuracy in documenting thoracic surgical oncology p...
INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive approaches to lung resection have become widely acceptable and more recently, segmentectomy has demonstrated equivalent oncologic outcomes when compared to lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)....
BACKGROUND: Noninvasively and accurately predicting subcarinal lymph node metastasis (SLNM) for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains challenging. This study was designed to develop and validate a tumor and subcarinal lymph nodes (...

OBJECTIVE: Clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) showing a pure-solid appearance on computed tomography is associated with a worse prognosis. This study aimed to develop and validate machine-learning models using preoperative clinical ...
BACKGROUND: The optimal number of lymph nodes to be dissected during lung cancer surgery to minimise the postoperative recurrence risk remains undetermined. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of the number of dissected lymph nodes on the risk o...

OBJECTIVES: The advantages of preoperative three-dimensional (3D) image simulations, which require enhanced computed tomography (ECT), for anatomical lung resection are well documented. However, the necessity for contrast agent presents a significant...
OBJECTIVE: The infiltration status of pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) exhibits significant variability, demanding tailored surgical strategies and individualized postoperative adjuvant therapies. This study explored the preoperative assessment ...
BACKGROUND: Reducing postoperative cardiovascular and neurological complications (PCNC) during thoracic surgery is the key to improving postoperative survival.
