Pulmonary function after segmentectomy for small peripheral carcinoma of the lung

Abstract: Pulmonary function after a segmentectomy for a good-risk patient is slightly better than that after a lobectomy. However, segmentectomy should be still the surgical procedure for only poor-risk patients because of the difficulty in excluding patients with metastatic lymph nodes from the candidates for the procedure.

“…Many studies reported preserved pulmonary function after limited resection, compared with lobectomy (8,22,23). In our study, postoperative/preoperative FVC and FEV 1 ratios were significantly higher in the limited resection group than in the lobectomy group.…”

“…TAKIZAWA et al [45] studied post-operative lung function in 40 patients who had undergone segmentectomy but who could otherwise have undergone lobectomy, and in 40 matched patients who had undergone lobectomy. Pre-operative forced vital capacity (FVC) and preoperative FEV1 were similar.…”

“…These two studies [45,46] were performed in patients with good pre-operative pulmonary function. In patients with lung disease, careful evaluation of the type, degree and location of the lung abnormalities is important in order to select the best lung resection.…”

“…Compared with those who undergo traditional lobectomy, patients who undergo anatomic segmentectomy have less lung tissue resected and more lung function preserved, contributing to a subsequent higher quality of life (2)(3)(4). There are reportedly no significant differences…”
