Radical laser segmentectomy for T1 N0 lung cancer

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Center for Adult Diseases, Osaka, Japan.

Over the last 40 months, 18 lung cancer patients with T1 N0 non-small cell lung carcinoma have been treated with radical laser segmentectomy. This innovative operative method consists of a combination of anatomical or nonanatomical segmentectomy by neodymium:yttrium-aluminum garnet laser parenchyma sparing with complete hilar lymph node dissection. Although the median follow-up period is too short, there is no local recurrence and no cancer deaths. There have been no major complications. Even deep-seated tumors can be resected with a clear safety margin using this method. Radical laser segmentectomy may be a useful adjunct to preserve normal lung tissue and to perform very radical resection.
