Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of CT-based margin assessment during lung surgeries.
Utilized computed tomography for intraoperative assessment of surgical margins.
Compared CT margin evaluations with surgeon estimates.
Focused on wedge resection lung specimens.
CT-based evaluations provided more reliable margin estimates than surgeon estimates.
The method could potentially lead to improved surgical outcomes by ensuring sufficient margins.

Implication

CT-based evaluation improves surgical margin accuracy in lung wedge resections, suggesting a novel approach for better outcomes.

Abstract

CT-based margin evaluation method can provide an intraoperative timely and more reliable estimate of the pathMargin compared to surgeon's estimates and could be a novel approach to ensure more sufficient surgical margins during wedge resection.
