Discrepancy between predicted and measured respiratory function after thoracoscopic segmentectomy versus lobectomy

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The 19-segment method fits segmentectomy but overestimates %FEV1 loss after lobectomy. CENTRAL MESSAGEThe conventional segmentcounting method accurately predicts postoperative %FEV1 after thoracoscopic segmentectomy but may overestimate functional loss after thoracoscopic lobectomy.
