“…The most demanding aspect of segmentectomies is identifying the intersegmental plane. Segmentectomies can be classified as “easy” or “complex” procedures based on the number and shape of intersegmental planes [ 6 ]. Several challenges still exist regarding the extent of curative lung resection, and minimally invasive lobectomy and segmentectomy have been refined over the past decade [ 7 ].…”

Objective. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess potential differences in perioperative outcomes and disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with pathological stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent minimally invasive anatomical segmentectomy or lobectomy. Methods. This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A systematic search of EMBASE (through Ovid), MEDLINE (via PubMed), and Cochrane CENTRAL was conducted. Two researchers independently reviewed each eligible study that included patients with stage IA NSCLC who underwent minimally invasive anatomical segmentectomy and lobectomy and compared perioperative and/or survival outcomes of patients. Results. A total of 887 publications were identified. Of these, 10 articles met our eligibility criteria. A significantly higher number of lymph nodes were harvested in lobectomies. The two groups did not significantly differ in postoperative complication rates, DFS, and OS. Patients who underwent segmentectomy had shorter postoperative hospital stays. Conclusions. Minimally invasive lobectomy and segmentectomy showed comparable short-term and long-term outcomes in stage IA NSCLC patients. Postoperative complication rates were similar. Minimally invasive lobectomies are associated with a higher number of harvested lymph nodes, although this did not affect the final staging or the survival outcomes.

“…The anatomical challenges of segmentectomies, especially in the case of non-palpable tumors, may hinder the achievement of negative resection margins and radical hilar lymph node dissection. The literature classifies segmentectomies in terms of simple or complex procedures based on the number and shape of intersegmental planes ( Table 1 ) [ 8 ].…”
