Abstract
The major pulmonary resections described in this atlas are mostly done for lung cancer. Surgical treatment of lung carcinoma with curative intent requires complete resection, that is, microscopically proven free resection margins and systematic node dissection. A systematic lymph node dissection means:
-
Excision of hilar, interlobar, and/or intersegmental lymph nodes
-
Excision of mediastinal fat and enclosed lymph nodes, which are dissected and identified
