This paper looks to explore the outcomes in obese patients with non-small cell lung cancer following VATS or open lobectomy. The authors utilized data from the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database to assess morbidity and postoperative length of stay in 78,018 patients across a fourteen-year period.

Bronchial Branching Patterns and Volumetry in the Right Upper Lobe: Impact on Segmentectomy Planning
November 1, 2023
Segmentectomy is on the rise, but understanding of the segmental bronchial branching pattern is limited. Computed tomography scans of 303 patients were used to determine and categorize the branching of the right upper lobe bronchi. Four major types and eleven subtypes were identified.
