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.

The authors interrogated a Norwegian national database for patients with tracheal cancer, a rare but treatable disease. Seventy-sevent patients were identified, giving a crude incidence rate of 0.075 per 100,000 per year.

Nonintubated tracheal resection is a feasible procedure, on selected patients, in high volume and experience centers. However, more evidence is needed in order to prove its benefits, outcomes, and limitations.

This systematic review by Udelsman and colleagues assesses the clinical successes and setbacks of the current methods of airway replacement. Twenty-one studies, focusing primarily on the clinical translation of circumferential or near circumferential tracheal substitutes, were included in the final assessment.

As many will recall, world chess champion Garry Kasparov was defeated by IBM's Deep Blue computer in 1997. Now machine-learning algorithms have bested trained pathologists in differentiating between benign and malignant changes in sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer patients. We can expect to see increasing involvement of AI in pathology as well
