Utility of computed tomography-based intraoperative surgical margin evaluation in wedge resected lung specimens.

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.
