The surgical treatment of early-stage lung cancer is evolving rapidly. Based on clinical studies and international technical guidelines (Brunelli et al., 2023), the standard of care is increasingly shifting from lobectomy toward sublobar resections such as segmentectomy, as well as from open thoracotomy to minimally invasive approaches including VATS and robotic surgery.

These procedures require a deep understanding of patient-specific anatomical variations, which are often difficult to interpret using conventional CT imaging alone.

Surgical Reality supports this transition by providing patient-specific 3D visualization to enhance anatomical understanding.
