Evaluation of lung volume and function after stapled video-assisted thoracoscopic S6 segmentectomy

Key Points

• Lung volume significantly improves after segmentectomy procedures, aiding recovery processes and functionality.
• Pulmonary function tests indicated an increase in vital capacity and forced expiratory volume post-operation.
• Assessment using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery provided precise measurements of lung function following surgery.
• These findings may enhance surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods for patients undergoing lung surgeries.
