Removing only a segment or wedge of a lung lobe rather than the whole lobe, sparing breathing capacity.
Answer a few questions from a report and read the guideline statement that applies, quoted word for word with its source. Educational aids to prepare for an appointment, not advice.
Once reserved for patients who could not tolerate lobectomy, anatomical segmentectomy became a standard option for peripheral tumours ≤2 cm after JCOG0802 (2022) showed better overall survival and CALGB 140503 showed non-inferior disease-free survival. Wedge resection is a non-anatomical version with less lymph node clearance. The same lung-sparing logic drives lung-sparing surgery in mesothelioma and parenchyma-sparing liver resection.
