Contribution of 3D Printing in Anatomical Lung Segmentectomies.

The aim of the present work was to evaluate if the presence on the operating field of a 3D printed personalized model of the pulmonary anatomy of a patient operated by full thoracoscopy for an anatomical segmentectomy, makes it possible to reduce the mental workload and the fatigue of the surgeon.

Inclusion Criteria:all anatomic segmentectomies performed by full thoracoscopy, except for S6 segmentectomies, S4+5 left bisegmentectomy and patients for whom the time to surgery was considered too short to obtain the 3D printed model before surgery.Exclusion Criteria:S6 segmentectomiesS4+5 left bisegmentectomyPatients for whom the time to surgery was considered too short to obtain the 3D printed model before surgery.
