From the abstract
Preoperative planning for robot-assisted segmentectomy requires accurate understanding of segmental anatomy and the sequence of vascular and bronchial division. Although three-dimensional computed tomography provides detailed anatomical information, it does not allow stepwise prediction of intraoperative anatomical changes.
