Based on the results of JCOG0802 and CALGB studies, segmentectomy has considered to be a standard procedure for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). After lobectomy, the residual cavity is filled with mediastinal and diaphragmatic deviations, and compensatory volume changes are present in the residual lungs. In this study, we examined the efficacy of segmentectomy, a surgical procedure, by focusing on its impact on postoperative lung volume and function.
