Evolution in Lung Segmentectomy by Ziostation REVORAS, a Novel 3D Preoperative Planning Software
Recent advances in medical equipment have made pulmonary 3D models created by preoperative CT an essential technology in preoperative surgical planning and these technological advances have made precise minimally invasive surgery possible. Minimally invasive thoracic surgery in Japan has been changed from thoracotomy to minimally invasive open surgery (MIOS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). In addition, recently robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) has been added to the list of procedures. Although minimally invasive surgery has traditionally been performed through multi-portal surgery, as procedures become more standardized, a trend toward reduced port surgery (RPS) has emerged, and some centers have begun to perform VATS and RATS through a single or two port. In 2017, our hospital introduced Uniportal VATS, and about 80% of surgeries are currently performed under this procedure. On the other hand, RATS was introduced in 2022, and currently, Dual-portal RATS is performed as a reduced-port RATS. Regarding 3D preoperative planning, we use FUJIFILM’s SYNAPSE VINCENT® software for preoperative 3D modeling and performing surgery while viewing the images intraoperatively. In this presentation, I would like to introduce our preoperative planning and reduced-port thoracic surgery in our hospital.
