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.

It is a privilege to prologue this new Video-Atlas of VATS Pulmonary Sublobar Resections, with Drs. Galvez, Bolufer, Figueroa, and Obeso as Editors.

Fortunately, in the last years, the patients with a diagnosed or suspected lung carcinoma are arriving to the thoracic surgeon earlier than years ago. It means that the mean size of the tumors is smaller and the necessity of a lobar resection is no longer a must. The results of the Japanese phase III randomized trial, between lobectomy and segmentectomy in tumors N0, less than 2 cm, have demonstrated that the latter is not inferior regarding survival and postoperative complications, except a more air leakage was observed [1]. The surgical technique is of paramount importance for the outcome of the procedure, and this video-atlas explores the different technical aspects for all the sublobar resections, including special combinations of segmentectomy. The contents are very well organized for a quick search of the procedure to consult.

Regarding the Editors, I know very well the career of these four seniors, but young thoracic surgeons, who have become a reference in the Spanish thoracic surgical scenario. They have great experience in the field of sublobar resections that has been exposed in multiple national and international meetings. They have put together a high-definition multimedia tool, written by real experts, selected for his/her expertise in the specific assigned procedure. It is a tool for learning and improving the technique, not only for beginners but for advanced surgeons as well.

You will find anatomical 3D reconstructions of each segment with radiological correlation, bronchoscopy segmental anatomy, operative steps, and tips and tricks for each segmentectomy and its variations.

This video-atlas of pulmonary sublobar resections is designed to be a reference multimedia book for thoracic surgeons. I am sure that you will enjoy it!
