“…The reconstruction of individual 3‐D pulmonary models has been previously described . By using thin‐sliced HRCT images (60 2‐mm images until September 2010 and 120 1‐mm images from October 2010) of tumor and hilum written in digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) format, we were able to mark pulmonary arteries, veins, bronchi, and tumors on the HRCT images.…”

“…The authors closely inspected 3D models of the bronchi and pulmonary blood vessels prepared before thoracoscopic anatomical sublobar resection (TASLR), including procedures such as left upper division resection, lingular segmentectomy, segmentectomy, and subsegmentectomy (Kanzaki et al, ), to determine whether a segmental pulmonary veins (SPV) ever passed through the segmental broncho‐arterial triangle (SBAT); the SBAT is created by the origins of the segmental bronchi and the segmental pulmonary arteries and the point where these structures start to course in parallel at the hilum. The findings were then confirmed at surgery.…”

“…Segmentectomy is now performed to resect early peripheral lung cancer, metastatic lung tumors, and undiagnosed nodules in addition to the conventional indications of pulmonary infection (Okada et al, 2007;Schuchert et al, 2012). Thoracoscopic surgery has been performed with the help of 3D images generated by high-resolution 3D CT (HRCT) (Oizumi et al, 2011;Kanzaki et al, 2011Kanzaki et al, , 2013, and attention has again focused on the 3D anatomical structures of pulmonary segments.…”

New findings on the three‐dimensional anatomical relations between the bronchi and pulmonary blood vessels at the pulmonary hilum

During the 1940s, considerable knowledge was acquired about the anatomy of pulmonary segments, and anatomical terms were proposed and have been widely accepted. In recent years, minimally invasive and thoracoscopic segmentectomy has been performed with a versatile sublobar resection approach on patients with early peripheral lung cancer, metastatic lung tumors, and undiagnosed nodules. The three-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the bronchi and the pulmonary vessels has also been studied in individual patients. Threedimensional models of the bronchi and pulmonary vessels were prepared using homemade software from computed tomograms (CT) of the chests of patients scheduled to undergo surgical procedures. Using these models, the authors examined the 3D positional relationships of the segmental broncho-arterial triangle (SBAT) created by three points defined by the origins and courses of the bronchi and the pulmonary arteries, which are located apart from each other at the pulmonary hilum, and the segmental pulmonary veins (SPV), which run near the SBAT. In the left and right upper lobes, many branches of the pulmonary arteries and parallel bronchi in subsegments were widely separated at the origin of the pulmonary hilum, creating a relatively large SBAT. However, as an exceptional case, an SPV passed through an SBAT in only one of 158 patients. To our knowledge, no similar findings have been documented previously. Our findings could help to determine resection surfaces for thoracoscopic segmentectomy in the future, and provide new insights into the 3D anatomy and development of the lung. Clin.

This report describes a 3-dimensional (3-D) video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection guided by a 3-D video navigation system having a patient-specific 3-D reconstructed pulmonary model obtained by preoperative simulation. A 78-year-old man was found to have a small solitary pulmonary nodule in the left upper lobe in chest computed tomography. By a virtual 3-D pulmonary model the tumor was found to be involved in two subsegments (S1 + 2c and S3a). Complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery bi-subsegmentectomy was selected in simulation and was performed with lymph node dissection. A 3-D digital vision system was used for 3-D thoracoscopic performance. Wearing 3-D glasses, the patient's actual reconstructed 3-D model on 3-D liquid-crystal displays was observed, and the 3-D intraoperative field and the picture of 3-D reconstructed pulmonary model were compared.
