European Society of Thoracic Surgeons Expert Consensus Recommendations on Technical Standards of Segmentectomy for Primary Lung Cancer

This outstanding document has been put together by the guidelines committee of the European Association of Cardiothoracic surgery in response to the two major studies that have just been published on segmentectomy versus lobectomy. This document lays out new international guidance for segmentectomy, including management of the lymph node suitability for the procedure and technical advice, and will serve for many years to come in supporting the move towards segmentectomy as the standard of care for tumors less than 2 cm.
