Robotic pulmonary segmental resection is a technically challenging procedure. Near-infrared fluorescence mapping with intravascular indocyanine green dye valuable adjunct; however, conversion to lobectomy still occurs in up 40% of cases. We hypothesized that the incorporation 3-dimensional virtual lung reconstruction would result low rates from segmentectomy and increased confidence surgical plan. A prospective single-center cohort trial was conducted determine safety feasibility this...
